REGISTRATION PROCEDURES The CER, located in Building 470, Room 1111, is open Monday through Friday, 0730-1630. Registrations are completed daily 0730-1630. Registration appointments are requested. Patrons with scheduled appointments will be seen before “walk-in” patrons. Allow 30 minutes to complete the registration process. Please call 596-0238 or 596-0421 to schedule an appointment. <strong>Parent</strong>s must complete these forms: CYS Health Assessment/Sports Physical, Family Care Plan (FCP) FLW Form 1530, Child Development Services Sponsor/Program Agreement, Application for DoD Childcare Fees, Infant Sleep Position Form (6 weeks-12 months), IMCOM West Registration Form, and the Special Needs Screening Form. Forms must be completed prior to any child entering a program. The Health Assessment/Sports Physical and FCP are due within 30 days after registration (the physical must be turned in prior to the child participating in a sport to include practices). The FCP is required of all sole/dual military sponsors. A special needs screening form must be completed on all children. A special need includes any of the following conditions: Asthma, Attention Deficit Disorder/Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), learning disabilities, multiple food allergies, or any other condition that may affect the care of the child.

Registration packets are completed at the CER. Current, up to date immunization records must be presented at time of registration. Children age 18 months or older must have a Vacicella/Varivax in addition to other required immunizations before they will be permitted to use any of the CYS programs. The registration forms provide CYS staff with Family data needed for program management, health, safety, and enrollment and admission requirements. It is the parent’s responsibility to ensure that information on the forms is kept current. Any changes in phone numbers, address, or emergency contacts should be recorded immediately. The registration fee is waived for all CYS patrons. Registration is valid for one year and must be updated annually by the anniversary date. <strong>Parent</strong>s are responsible for making sure all information on their child’s paperwork is complete and accurate. In an emergency, accurate information saves valuable time. WAITING LIST INFORMATION When daily care programs have reached a maximum enrollment of children, a waiting list is established for each age group. To be included on the waiting list, you need to provide information regarding your childcare requirements by filling out the Waiting List Application. Registration is not required until care is offered and accepted. Vacancies will be filled based on the date reflected on the waiting list application, as well as on established priorities and date care is needed. If a child is withdrawn from any CYS program, the parent must compete for space with all other eligible patrons if they wish to enroll their child at a later date. Priority status may only be used once in a given program unless official orders are presented with the Waiting List Application. At no time, will a child already in a program be displaced to allow for a child with a higher priority status. The information below explains the different types of waiting lists used and the priority for filling vacant childcare spaces. Priority for CYS Care. Priority for care is determined by DoD and Army Regulations. Priority is given as follows: Priority 1: Active duty, single parent. Priority 2: Active duty, dual military. Priority 3: Active duty sponsor with full time working/full time student spouse. Priority 4: Full time working single DoD Civilian parent. Priority 5: DoD Civilian with full time working/full time student spouse. Priority 6: Active duty sponsors assigned/attached to FLW with a non-working spouse. Priority 7: DoD Civilian with a non-working spouse. Priority 8: Retired military/DoD Contractors. Priority 9: Active duty sponsors not assigned/attached to FLW. Priority 10: Children who have exited the program and want to return, or parent who has refused a childcare slot and has provided the CER with a second projected date for care, or no call was returned by a parent in reference to a childcare space. Preference for Care List. This list includes children with parental preference for a specific type of care. The date you turn in your waiting list application is the date used to place you on 7
