READINESS CRITICAL CHILDCARE MEMO

- - - HOURLY CARE UPDATE - - -

Beginning on 7 September 2020, CYS will be operating with reduced capacity in regards to hourly care spaces. This reduction is as a result of the need for additional full day care spaces within the community. All hourly care will be offered at the Ivy CDC, Bldg. 1840 and will be reserved for medical appointments only. Proof of medical appointment will be required at the time of drop off for care. Reservations can be made by calling the Hourly Care Reservation line 526-6610 or 526-2463.

Subsequently, the Department of Defense has announced that it has an additional way for military parents to find child care solutions for hourly care.
