Child Development Homes (CDH)

» Hourly Child Care is available at Jackson Park & Whidbey Island, learn more →

Some individuals find that center based child care is not right for their child(ren). To accommodate those individuals, Navy Region Northwest also offers a Child Development Home Program, in which caregivers provide child care services out of their own homes.

Our CDH program has over 120 homes throughout the region certified by the Navy Child Development Programs to provide childcare to youth up through 12 years of age. They provide the same level of high quality care found in our on-base centers, but are often able to offer a little more flexibility in services. Not only are our homes required to meet navy childcare guidelines, many of our homes are also licensed by the State of Washington. Childcare providers offer developmental programs and receive training and home visits on a monthly basis. CDH subsidy is available for all eligible famlies seeking full-time care so that child care fees are comparable to those fees charged in Child and Youth Centers. In addition, providers may offer part-time, hourly, evening, weekend and deployment care.

We are committed to providing developmental care in a motivating, caring environment in which children can explore, create and learn from other children under the supervision of a highly trained child care provider.
