CDC and School Age Care:

If Wing leadership directs a closure for Peterson SFB, the CDC Main will open at normal time for CDC and School Age Care children of key and essential personnel only.  Care will be consolidated to the CDC Main for both child and school age care.

If Wing leadership directs a phased early release for Peterson SFB – except for key and essential personnel, personnel are reminded to pick up their children from CDC and School Age care as soon as safely possible.

If Wing leadership directs a delayed reporting until 9:30 am for Peterson SFB, CDCs and School Age care is available for key and essential personnel only until the report-no-earlier time, when programs will open for normal operations.

(All key and mission essential members must have a letter on file from their squadron commanders (or equivalent) for CDC/school age care. For more information, call 719-554-9572 or 719-556-7460 for CDCs and 719-556-7220 for School Age care.)
