The Navy Child and Youth Program (CYP) Youth and Family Profile is designed to help CYP Professionals get to know the children, and youth enrolled in our School Age Care programs. The information gathered will be used by CYP professionals to develop relationships and activities to better serve our customers.

The Medication Dispensation Log provides a written record of the medication being given by CYP staff to the child (when it was administered, by whom, and the dosage given).

The Program Accommodations Form (Inclusion Support Information and Referral) documents the program accommodations required to support individual needs, whether accommodations can be provided within existing program operations and with existing resources, and the program steps taken to support the child.

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.

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.
