Welcome to the Fort Detrick Child & Youth Services (CYS). We are happy that you have chosen our programs to assist you with your child care needs. We hope that together we can provide the nurturing, positive environment your child needs and deserves. Our goal is to assist each child by promoting his/her intellectual growth, physical ability, and social skills. We have the responsibility to provide a safe, healthy environment, enriching activities, and warm, loving care for every child enrolled in our programs.

We will strive to create a setting that enhances a child's self-concept and promotes a positive self-image. Under the regulatory guidance of AR 608-10, CYS programs are offered as a supplement to the family, not as a substitute. We therefore seek your involvement and welcome your comments and questions. Thank you for entrusting your child to our care. We are sincere in our commitment to offer a high quality, developmental program for each child.
