Navy Installation CDH Programs will establish local Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) outlining a reimbursement process through the Direct Care Subsidy Program (DCSP) for providers seeking to obtain or retain national accreditation.

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.

NAEYC Early Learning Program 2022 Standards and Assessment Items are research-based standards and recommended best practices for center-based early learning programs that serve children birth through preschool. Navy CDCs and 24/7 programs shall apply these standards toward achievement and maintenance of quality programming and accreditation as required.

This application is designed to collect total family income data to determine child care fees. CYP professionals use the Navy CYP Parent Fees Calculator to determine Total Family Income (TFI), and enter the data on the DD Form 2652, which is signed by the Sponsor.

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.

Navy Child and Youth Programs standardized positions descriptions (PDs) are required to be use for all Navy CYP operations. Enclosure (1) provides an updated chart of all CYP standardized PDs which are required to be used. Both Appropriated Fund (APF) and Non-Appropriated Fund (NAF) standardized PDs have been classified and are provided.

The FCC Subsidy Claim Form is completed by FCC Providers each month, detailing each child enrolled in their care who is qualified for subsidies and was in attendance during the subsidy cycle.

The CDH Monthly Attendance Record must accompany the monthly Subsidy Claim Form -- CNICCYP 1700/88 in order to reimburse CDH providers for services rendered.
