About Child Development Homes
CDH’s assist parents by providing child care services to support operational readiness, mission accomplishment and retention. CDH’s are often preferred by families because of the small group sizes, the home-like atmosphere and flexible hours of operation that centers often cannot accommodate. Anyone who lives in military housing and wishes to provide child care on a regular basis for more than ten hours a week must be certified by the Navy as a CDH provider. Anyone off base must be state registered or licensed, but can provide Navy child care by becoming Navy certified.
"U.S. Navy Child and Youth Programs welcome children/youth of all abilities."
