Dear Fort Cavazos CYS Families, Staff, and Volunteers,
Welcome to the fall edition of CYS Sensations!
We had a fantastic summer, but now that school is back in session, Child & Youth Services (CYS) is here to support all your back-to-school needs. As the weather cools and we pack away our sandals and sunscreen, CYS is excited for a vibrant fall season filled with new and engaging activities across our Child Development Centers, School Age Care programs, Youth Centers and Youth Sports and Fitness programs.
We’re confident you’ll “fall” in love with everything CYS has to offer.
Our Child Development Centers (CDC)s are ready to assist with full-time care, pre-kindergarten before and after care, and hourly care. Children in our CDCs will participate in various activities such as Story time, sensory play, outdoor adventures, and daily learning curriculums. These activities are designed to be both fun and educational, fostering skill development while children enjoy their time with us.
School Age Care (SAC) provides before and after school care for all on-post elementary schools. SAC students will benefit from enjoyable after-school activities with friends, receive a healthy snack each day, and have the option of homework assistance. SAC offers parents peace of mind, knowing their children are safe and well cared for after school.
For youth in grades 6-12 attending Killeen and Copperas Cove middle and high schools, the Teen Taxi service provides transportation to one of our four Fort Cavazos Youth Centers. There, youth can participate in computer/homework labs, robotics programs, college preparation, health and fitness activities, and community service projects. Our Youth Center programs offer both fun and opportunities to build strong leadership skills for the future.
This fall, for those who have been eagerly anticipating fall sports, enjoy a range of sporting events with our Youth Sports and Fitness programs, as well as Instructional Classes. Youth Sports and Fitness will not disappoint with a season packed with soccer, golf, tennis, and run club. Plus, our Instructional Programs offer Karate and Tae Kwon Do lessons.
We are honored to serve you and appreciate your continued trust in CYS for all your child care needs.
Sincerely,
Sincerely,
Sheila R. Curtis
Chief, Child & Youth Services (CYS)
