The Council of Professional Recognition has developed the Child Development Associate and Military School Age credentials to improve the quality of child and school-age care programs. CNIC CYP will continue to provide supplemental funding to offer CYP employees and CDH Providers an opportunity to continue their training and receive recognition from a national organization. CNIC (N926) has established a centralized contract with the Council of Professional Recognition to streamline the process for funding the CDA and MSA credentials. Enclosures (1) through (4) provide the processes for participating in this opportunity.

The Navy CYP Registration Form is used by families to enroll children and youth in a Child and Youth Program.

Achieving and maintaining NAEYC accreditation is required of all eligible Navy child development centers and 24/7 centers. All programs are considered eligible unless an approved exception from CNIC is documented. In order to comply with Navy Child and Youth Program Policy, new and non-accredited programs must follow the Navy CYP timetable to gain NAEYC accreditation status. This fillable timeline is required to notify CNIC of the plan toward NAEYC accreditation for all non-accredited programs and serves as a guide for action planning to become accredited.

The Self-Release Form allows parents, based on the Installation's home alone policy, to authorize self-release privileges for their eligible youth.

Parents complete the Youth Sports and Fitness (YSF) Supplemental Information Form after signing up their youth in seasonal sports leagues to indicate the sport, their youth's uniform size, and interest in volunteering.

The Family Communication Tracking Log is used to document all communication attempts--by phone, email, cubby memo, or in-person--with a family when requesting record updates for immunizations, flu vaccinations, employment and/or student status documentation, and/or other required documents.

Families use this form when they are enrolling and registering their children to document in writing their releases and authorizations for field trips, transportation, topical non-prescription product application, media release, an acknowledgement that they have received the Navy CYP Parent Handbook, and a general hold harmless release.
