Readers Respond: Dyess Air Force Base, Texas

Don't waste your time

I have had a terrible time with Dyess CDC. I use the space available program, which is poorly designed. Any other CDC I've been to allows you to call the day before or week before on a space a basis, so that SAHM can make dr's appt., etc. When I have brought my child, it has not been a good experience. Little attention, if any, is paid to those who are not full time. No record was kept of what my child did on a daily basis (like all other daycares), if she napped, ate, etc. She was also struck by (I'm assuming) another child, with ME needing to sign a report about it! There are far too many wonderful programs off base (St. John's, Aldersgates, Beltway Baptist) than for you to waste your time with these people.
