Annex Child Development

The Annex Child Development Center, Bldg 1525, offers full-day and hourly childcare for children 12 months through 5 years. This center has 6 classrooms and provides care to 96 children. The Annex CDC is located across the street from the Chapel and the Youth Center.

Hours of Operation

The Child Development Program operates Monday – Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The program observes all federal holidays and will be closed accordingly. Emergency closings due to base closure or inclement weather will be at the discretion of the Installation Commander. Parents may be called if an emergency arises.

The Child Development Program is designed to provide care for children on a weekly or hourly basis. Children can attend the center for a maximum of ten hours in one day. The Mission Support Group Commander may grant an exception to the ten-hour limit if valid sponsor commitment requires longer care hours. This is approved on a case-by-case basis. However, approval for extended hours does not negate the hourly fee charged for care beyond fifty hours per week. All children must be picked up by 6:00 p.m.

Alert Status Care
In order to meet the demands of our military families, the Child Development Program does provide extended care during alert hours, such as for exercises or recalls when notified by the Installation Commander. The extended hours of operation are 5:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Children will be permitted to stay beyond the ten-hour daily limit. However, the applicable hourly rate for childcare will apply. We request that parents give notification of intended use as soon as possible to ensure adequate staffing.
