PHILOSOPHY Army Regulations (AR) 608-10 and AR 215-1 govern Child and CYS. The staff is composed of a CYS Division Chief, program directors and one coordinator, assistant directors, Training and Curriculum Specialists (TACS) or Training and Program Specialists (TAPS), Education and Training Technicians or Program Assistants, a Food Service Manager/Nutritionist, and administrative personnel. The objective of CYS is to provide an atmosphere and experiences, which will foster development to the highest potential of those enrolled in any of our programs. These experiences are designed to promote social, physical, emotional, and intellectual growth in children. They are encouraged to freely express their own ideas, to ask questions, and to use materials and activities to discover and create. We help one another deal with feelings of fear, anger, frustration, love, and sadness. We want to nurture the whole child while recognizing that all facets of their being are integrated. The programs and settings are designed to promote self-confidence, independence, cooperation, and consideration. We seek to meet the needs of the FLW community by providing services to working as well as non-working parents. The programs offered are center-based full day care, hourly care, part day preschool, home based FCC, and special needs care. We have programs that offer care for children four weeks through fifth grade and a middle school/teen center that offers programs for youth sixth grade through high school. Parents are welcome to visit any program at any time. There is no smoking allowed in any CYS program. Suggestions concerning the program’s physical setting and daily operations are also welcome. We are aided by the advice and support of Army Community Services, the Pediatric Clinic at the General Leonard Wood Army Community Hospital (GLWACH), the FLW Army Community Health Nurse (ACHN), and proponent agencies for fire and safety. We welcome you as parents with the certainty that CYS will provide enjoyable and worthwhile experiences for you and your child. All parents utilizing the services are requested to cooperate with established rules for operation. Courtesy to staff, FCC providers, and other center users is expected at all times. Questions and concerns should be brought to the attention of the Program Director for speedy resolution. Parents may request a conference at any time with those staff members or FCC providers who work with their child or children. 4
ORGANIZATION AND SERVICES/CYS MISSION STATEMENT The United States Army Maneuver Support Center and FLW Child and Youth Programs are essential Family programs that directly support the military life style. Our mission is to support military readiness, recruitment, and retention by managing and delivering facility based and outreach services to eligible children and youth ages four weeks through high school, to ease the conflict between mission and parent responsibilities; provide year round, before and after school, hourly, and occasional full day care, to include summer camps and events with parent and youth input; all designed to ensure inclusion of children with special needs. Our programs focus on three essential elements: children, parents, and community/command. We strive to meet the needs of all those groups through six systems: the CDC, SAS, YS, School Liaison Office (SLO), FCC, and CYS Liaison, Education, and Outreach Services (CLEOS). These services are a supplement to, rather than a substitute for, the Family as the primary agent in the care and development of children. 5
