When families enroll their child(ren) in a Youth Program, they expect CYP Professionals to provide expert care, developmentally appropriate accountability and supervision, and recreational services. The quality of programming within Navy CYP worldwide allows participants' families to rest assured that their children are safe, cared for, and thriving in a high-quality program; and when Navy families are confident that their children are safe and in good care, they can better concentrate on fulfilling their military and defense support responsibilities. The Youth Programming Standard defines the roles, responsibilities, and requirements of Youth Programs in providing developmentally appropriate, engaging programming for children.
