Navigating Navy Child Care Excellence

CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTERS

ABOUT - Child Development Centers (CDCs) provide high-quality child development programs for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years in facilities that are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and are DoD-certified. CDCs provide full- and part-day classroom options in a center-based environment. Infants, pretoddlers, toddlers and preschoolers are cared for in age and developmentally appropriate learning environments that focus on school readiness, individualization and social/emotional growth. Navy CDCs offer research-based curriculum and apply best practices in early learning to foster children’s cognitive, physical, social, emotional and creative development through a mixture of staff and child-led activities.
