The CYSS goal is to assist each child by promoting his/her in-tellectual growth, physical ability, and social skills. Under

the regulatory guidance of AR 608-10, CYSS programs are offered as a supplement to the family, not as a sub-stitute. Therefore, they seek the family’s involvement and welcome questions and comments.CYSS offers various programs to support children and families with child care, recreation, social-ization, and child development for children ages 4 weeks–19 years. The Child Development Centers

(CDCs) offer full day and hourly child care programs for ages 6 weeks–5 years old. School Age Services (SAS)

EFMP provides support to military Families with special needs. The program offers activities for children enrolled in the program.

Special Needs Accomodation Process (SNAP)SNAP assesses supervision requirements of a child or youth with special needs requesting enrollment into CYSS programs. A multi-disciplinary team, to include the parent, reviews specific information regarding the developmental, medical, behavioral, physical and edu-cational needs of the child, Family considerations and the features of available child and youth program settings. Based on the child’s individual needs the team recommends developmentally appropri-ate environments, adult/child ratios, group sizes, staff training and any necessary program adaptations to accommodate the child in the least restrictive environment possible. SNAP screenings must be completed and recommendations in place prior to the child’s enrollment into CYSS. SNAP Contacts:EFMP Manager: 703-805-5435CYSS enrollment office: 703-805-9114
