The great quality of child care that CYS provides –
Our family is currently stationed at Fort Stewart, Georgia and my two children attend CYS.
My husband is currently deployed to Iraq and I am a working mother. I have to say that I
am very pleased with the daycare service that CYS offers. I feel comfortable leaving my
children at the center because I know they will be well cared for. CYS offers a clean,
safe, and nuturing enviornment for my children. The staff is well trained and very
knowledgable about child care. They are very friendly and the atmosphere is really inviting.
There are plenty of age appropriate activities in the classrooms. I am pleased with how
much my three year old has learned since she's been attending the center and my one year
old is growing and developing to her maximum potential as well.
I can go on and on about the great quality of child care that CYS provides.

PEACE OF MIND –
When my [husband] is gone, there's a part of us that's gone. When I drop her off [at CYS] I
know that I can count on CYS to take care of her, and not have to come back and get her and
worry about who is seeing her. It is a very safe environment. I can run errands and I know
that CYS is still open so the hours are great for me. Basically I've become a single parent
while he's gone and I need all the help I can get. Personally I think that if she were at
home or at another center, I don't think she would be where she is today. Our daughter is
three and is able to count to 20, she's able to count to 10 or sometimes 20 in Spanish and
she counts to 10 in German. She recognizes letters. At three I never believed that that
could ever happen. I think that is CYS that has done that for her.
