Child, Youth and School Services recognize the challenges of our
Soldiers and their Families. By offering quality programs for
children, youth and students, CYSS supports the Army Family
Covenant by reducing the conflict between mission readiness and
parental responsibility.
The Army Family
Covenant is a commitment from the Army to enhance mission
readiness by providing additional support to Families especially
during deployments. Army Families who have a Soldier who is
deployed, a member of a Rear Detachment, a Wounded Warrior, a
Fallen Warrior, or on TCS, TDY, PCS (unaccompanied tour) qualify
for special child care options under the AFC.
To utilize the AFC benefits, you must register your Family
members with Child, Youth and School Services. Registration is
FREE. Registration information and packets can be obtained at
Parent Central Services located at Clark Hall, 2nd floor, Family and MWR
window or at
drum.mwrcyscer@conus.army.mil
You must bring
your childs shot records and earning statements for everyone in
the household and official documentation verifying your category
under the AFC. Official documentation for most categories will
be in the form of Orders. For Rear Detachment Soldiers, you can
provide Orders or a Memorandum from your Commander (signed and
dated). Wounded Warrior Soldiers must also provide
appointments/physical therapy documents related to injury for
free hourly medical appointment care.
AFC child care is provided at the below listed centers on a
reservation basis. Reservations may be made up to one month in
advance. Reservations are taken on a first come first served
basis. Please call the respective center to make or cancel a
reservation. Cancellations must be made before reservations
begin. Reservations that are not cancelled 30 minutes after the
