PART DAY PRESCHOOL
Give your preschooler the advantage of hands-on learning adventures with the Child, Youth & School Services (CYSS) Part-Day Preschool. This program has been designed with an interactive curriculum to stimulate preschoolers physically, intellectually, emotionally, socially, linguistically, and aesthetically giving them a positive and friendly early-learning experience.  The Pre-School Program is designed for children ages 3-5 years old. The program is conveniently offered as a full-day program. For those children that require care but attend a school on post, CDC #2 offers a before and after pre-school program that includes busing to and from the school/center which the child attends.
