Full Day Care. The Child Development Centers are open for full day care Monday - Friday 6:15 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. for children 6 weeks to 5 years. Costs are based on total family income as directed by the Department of Defense Patron Fee Policy. Each child is assigned to a primary caregiver. Activities are based on observations.
Hourly Care. The Hourly Care program is designed to meet the needs of parents who need child care on an intermittent basis. Reservations will be taken no more that one week in advance. Monthly calendars are available, depending on age. Child care is limited to a maximum of 25 hours per week per child. The fee is $3.50 per hour. In the event a patron fails to use the reserved hourly care time, fees will be assessed, since the space could not be used by another family.
Kindergarten and Pre-school care. The Centers provide before and after school care for children attending full-day Kindergarten or part-day pre-school at Roye Williams Elementary in the Aberdeen area and Edgewood Elementary in the Edgewood Area. Children are transported from the CDC's to school on Harford County school buses. Children who are enrolled in other schools must be transported to their schools by their parents.
