REGISTRATION
Registration is required for all CYS programs. There is an Army mandated non-refundable annual registration fee per child or per family. Priority is given to all single military and DA civilians and dual working military and civilian families assigned to Forts Eustis and Story regardless of branch of service. A registration packet must be completed prior to registering with any CYS program. This registration packet may be obtained from the central registration office during operational hours. During registration, the following documents must be verified before your child may start in a CYS program:

. Proof of immunizations

In addition, parents must attend an activity orientation to the program the child will be attending.

There is a waiting list for most child care programs. It is strongly urged to place your child's name on the waiting list as soon as possible. Parents who are PCS'ing to Forts Eustis or Story or expectant mothers are encouraged to place their child's name on the "future needs" waiting list.
