CDS fees are established
annually by the Department of Defense standards and are based
on total family income. Parents must provide a recent leave and
earning statement (LES) or pay check stub, when completing the
fee application during the registration process. Parents not providing
this documentation will be automatically charged the highest rate.
Child care fees are subject to change and a 30 day advance notice
will be given if such a change becomes necessary. FCC providers
are encouraged to follow the CDS fee policy and will require separate
contact with patrons to determine fee payments. Adjustments to
fees due to increase or decrease in income may be considered through
SPS, bldg 950, however, extensive documentation is required. Court
order legal separation, divorce documentation, and or ACS approved
hardships are examples of adjustments that may be warranted.
VACATION/SICK
LEAVE: Fees are determined annually
and include a 2-week leave provision. Parents must use this leave
in blocks of 5 or 10 consecutive workdays. Advanced notice of
at least one week must be provided. Parents new to CYS may apply
to use their leave after 3 months of enrollment. Unused leave
will not be carried over from one enrollment year to the next
or credited. Leave can be used for any purpose (i.e. vacation,
illness, etc). Child must be absent from CYS program for leave
