Child Development Center Services
 

Commander Fleet Activities Chinhae Child Development Center offers full and part-time custodial care options for children ages six weeks to 5 years with hourly care options on a space-available and first come, first served basis.

The Teaching Strategies curriculum and lesson plans used within the classrooms are based on child observations. The CYP is in building #702 and is located near the MWR Fitness Center. The carefully designed classrooms and playground provide safety and security for children in a pleasant and developmentally appropriate environment.

To request enrollment for Full and Part Time care families must use the Military Childcare website. Hourly Care availability as well as payment options are all available online! After completion of the CYP registration families may utilize this service. Please visit our portal to sign-up for all trips, activities, hourly care and events. 

 

Recreational School Age Program
 

Throughout the school year, CFAC Child & Youth Programs offers free recreational programs for ages K5-age 12 that highlight the five Navy CYP Core Programs: Health and Wellness, the Arts, Education & STEM, Leadership & Service, and Sports & Recreation. It is important to note that on “School Day Outs,” the CYP also offers hourly care services for school aged participants. During the Winter, Spring, and Summer Breaks, the Recreational School Age Program does not operate, as the facility conducts full time custodial care camps for ages K5-12.

If you would like to enroll your child in weekly camps, please request care on the Military Childcare website.
 


Teen Programs

CFAC Child & Youth Programs provide targeted teen programs based off of interests and trends that may include lock-ins, field trips, and recreational activities.  The Teen Room is located within the CYP building and accessible to teens on “School Day Outs” and School Breaks during marketed operational hours. The majority of the recreational activities are FREE and activities that require a fee more often apply to trips and teen lock-ins.

Youth Sports & Fitness

Commander Fleet Activities Chinhae CYP does not operate a Navy CYP baseline sports program. However, team sports are available if there is enough community interest to execute the season. Youth Sports & Fitness Clinics and Camps are also available from CYP and based off surveyed community interest. Throughout the year, the CYP provides sports & fitness activities marketed towards the Recreational School Age Program.

 
DoWEA Schools & Child and Youth Educational Services
 

There is no school on the Commander Fleet Activities Chinhae Base. The School Liaison Officer (SLO) supports Military and DoW Families stationed in Chinhae and Busan areas with a wide range of services. The SLO disseminates information on Non-DoWEAs School Program, the Connected Magazine listing International School options in the surrounding area, and home-schooled resources.

The Non-DoWEA School Program (NDSP) is an option for command sponsored families stationed outside of the United States where DOWEA schools are not available. The NDSP does not inspect or certify schools; families select the schools that work best for the needs of their children. For more information on NDSP and how it will support your child's education needs while stationed overseas, please visit their website.

Please contact the School Liaison Officer at 050-3363-8771/ DSN: 315-763-8771 or email for more information.
