The best way to describe the curriculum is that itfollows developmentally appropriate practices: achild-centered, child-initiated and teacher-supportedprogram. The Creative Curriculum program allowsfor meaningful and long-lasting learning involvingactive thinking and experimenting to find out howthings work. This is best accomplished through pur-poseful play facilitated by highly intentional teachingpractices. The Strong Beginnings Pre-K is an Army ini-tiative designed to prepare children for kindergarten.The program has a greater academic focus coveringscience, math, language/literacy, social studies andphysical fitness, preparing the child for school success.

Staff members follow a primary care-giving philoso-phy in which a child is assigned to one staff memberwho observes and documents the child’s interests,strengths and weaknesses and enhances the cur-riculum around these observations. The goal is todevelop an individualized program that will supportschool-ready children by enriching their learning expe-riences. The CDC strives to expose the children to the“Six Pillars of Character,” (trustworthiness, respect,responsibility, fairness, care and citizenship) as well aspromote the physical, social, emotional, cognitive andcreative side of each child. CDC staff seeks to inte-grate these traits into everyday interactions betweenchildren and their parents.

Family Child Care Office1900 Reece Road(301) 677-1160Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Family Child Care Office is a child care optionoffered to eligible families through CYSS. FCC isprovided by military family members working as inde-pendent contractors in individual housing units locatedon the installation. FCC providers have their programslisted in the FCC-online system at the Parent CentralServices office.

Homes provide flexible hours, a comfortable family-like setting and activities based on life experiences inthe home and neighborhood. In FCC, siblings can staytogether, younger and older children learn from eachother in a small group setting, and school-age childrencan remain in a neighborhood setting. Most homesoffer full-day, part-day and hourly care. Special ser-vices may include 24-hour and long-term care duringmobilization and training exercises, evening and week-end care and care for special-needs. The flexibility ofFCC providers is an asset in meeting the diverse workhours of military families.

Parents of children enrolled in an FCC home can expectto receive the same quality of care as in a CDC or schoolage program. FCC providers receive the same trainingand support as CYSS facility-based staff. Each group of25 to 40 providers is designated an FCC network withits own director and trainer and managed like a ‘childcare center without walls.’ The capacity of the FCChome is determined by the size of the home and theages of the children enrolled in the home. Generally,the capacity in an FCC home at any one time is six chil-dren, including the provider’s own children who maybe enrolled in the program. Homes serving infants andtoddlers exclusively (children ages 4 weeks to 2 years)can serve a maximum of three children. Homes serv-ing school-age children exclusively (children ages 5 to12 years) can serve a maximum of eight children. Ifyou are interested in becoming a provider, call the FCCoffice.

The name SKIES Unlimited combines the acronymfor “Schools of Knowledge, Inspiration, Exploration,and Skills” with the word Unlimited for the unlim-ited learning possibilities that this new initiative offersArmy children and youth.

SKIES Unlimited provides the framework for instruc-tional programming in the CYSS System worldwide. Itencompasses instructional programs for children andyouth from infancy to adolescence (four weeks throughthe end of the senior year in high school). Through SKIESUnlimited, youth in programs have access to opportuni-ties that expand their knowledge, inspire them, allowthem to explore, and acquire new skills.

Young people spend as much as 80 percent of theirwaking time outside the classroom. When involved ininstructional programs during the critical hours of 3 to8 p.m., studies show that they are less likely to engagein undesirable behavior.

Instructional programs foster the development ofcritical life, leadership, and social skills. The latest edu-cational research confirms that student’s involvementin after-school instructional programs is beneficial onall levels.
