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.

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.
Following health and safety best practices is an important way to provide quality early care and education for young children. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Public Health Association (APHA), and the National Resource Center for Health and Safety in Child Care and Early Education (NRC) have released the Fourth Edition of Caring for Our Children: National Health and Safety Performance Standards; Guidelines for Early Care and Education Programs. These national standards represent the best evidence, expertise, and experience in the country on quality health and safety practices and policies that should be followed in today's early care and education settings.

Each year, DoD sets fee ranges for the entire military system of care. Commander, Navy Installation Command (CNIC) issues a Navy Fee Policy Letter each fall that provides details on the full range of fees for Navy CYPs worldwide.
All CYP installations must release a single CYP Parent Fee Letter annually that includes fees for CDC, SAC, CDH programs and 24/7 Centers for children ages birth to 12 (and recreational programs as appropriate). The template has been developed in Word so that installations can tailor the information to reflect the fees at their location.
