The CDC
Our high quality, accredited early childhood program provides a safe and nurturing environment while promoting physical, social, emotional and intellectual development for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years.

The CDC operates on a sliding-scale fee, calculated based on total family income. Single parents and military members have priority. Program Registration packets are available at the front desk for enrollment in all CDC programs.

Openings
Limited hourly slots available for your 2 to 5 year old. Please call Robin or Jackie at 747-3042 if interested.

Give Parents
a Break!
Give Parents a Break provides eligible parents a few hours break from the stress of parenting. The AF Aid Society provides funding, making it possible for the CDC to open and provide care during this special time.

Once referred by one of the following base officials: Squadron Commander/First Sergeant, Chaplain, Doctor or medical professional, Family Advocacy personnel, Family Support Center personnel or CDC personel, it is the parent's responsibility to make reservations. The deadline is the Tuesday prior.

Eligible families include parents feeling stress due to...Military member is TDY or deployed; having a child with special needs; an emergency situation; a recent move to base; or unique circumstances or hardships.

Parents Day Out!Parents Day Out runs con-currently and follows the same guidelines as "Give Parents a Break." However, an hourly fee will be charged to the Parents Day Out participants and care may not be confirmed if less than eight children are on the reservation roster. There will be a late charge of $1/minute after 5 PM.

Wait List Rules for the Child Development Center and Family Child Care Programs

It is the parents' responsibility to fully complete the Wait List Form 2606 and submit with a copy of their orders to the CDC or Family Child Care Coordinator. Priority determination will be made upon completion of DD Form 2606 Request for Care, unless space is available and no waiting list exists.

Priority determination will progress as follows:
• Wounded Warrior
• Single Active Duty Military parent or Single DOD Civilian parent
• Dual Active Duty Military or Dual DOD Civilian parents
• Active Duty Military or DOD Civilian parent
Our waiting lists are divided into:
• Active Wait List to include those families who will accept a space as soon as a space is available.
• Unborn List to include unborn children

As soon as the baby is born, it is the parents' responsibility to call and have the request for care form transferred to the active wait list and to include a potential date when care is needed.
Families PCSing to Grand Forks Air Force Base need to contact the CDC upon arrival and update the DD Form 2606 with their address and phone numbers. If the current information is not received, their child will be removed from the waiting list. Filling out a wait list form does not guarantee a slot. A family may go up or down on the list due to another family of higher priority signing up for or declining care. It is always recommended that families have backup care.
