Resource & Referral
Information about child care options at other installations is available through CLEOS. The CLEOS Office will call ahead and determine availability of child care and assist you in placing your child on a waiting list at other installation CYS programs.
Parent Services
CLEOS offers a variety of training programs and resources. The Parent Participation Program encourages parents to become an active partner in children and youth programs. When parents are involved in the programs it is rewarding for the child and increases the quality of the programs. Through our Parent Participation Program, we strive to help family members improve their understanding skills as parents. Many activities earn Parent Participation Points which may be used for a 10% discount on child care charges.
Babysitter Training & Referral
Babysitting Training Courses for youth are offered throughout the year. All babysitters must be 13 - 18 years old and be certified and trained before being added to the Teen Post Babysitter List. Areas of training include but are not limited to First Aid, CPR, Safety and Health conditions for children. If your child would like to learn the skills and tasks associated with caring for children and running their own business, please call 633-7681 to sign up for the next training session. The Teen Post Babysitter List is available at the CLEOS office.
Short Term Alternative Child Care (STACC)
