Navy CYP CARES Materials

Navy Child and Youth Programs (CYP) support military and DoD families worldwide as they protect and serve our country. We do this by providing high-quality, innovative, accessible and affordable care that supports school readiness and recreational programs for children and youth.

The C.A.R.E.S. Icons represent the five core principles that guide the exceptional work of CYP professionals: Community, Accountability, Respect, Engagement, and Safety. These simple yet powerful symbols help highlight the values that define and inspire our Child and Youth Program staff. Whether displayed on recognition boards, certificates, or social media, the C.A.R.E.S. icons are a meaningful way to honor those who embody these principles every day.
