Q. When will the new teen center open and how far in advance can someone make hourly childcare reservations at the Child Development Centers?
A. Childcare and helping Airmen take care of their families is critical to readiness and among the command’s top priorities.
We had hoped to have the new Teen Center open by spring break, but the contractor ran into difficulty completing upgrades to the mass notification system in the facility.
This system is required to ensure the safety of the teens who will use the new center.
Our civil engineering and contracting squadrons are working to complete the upgrade in time for the new center to open before the school year begins.
In the meantime, the 19th Services Squadron continues to offer the same fantastic programs for teens at the former teen center (by the Thomas Community Activities Center) and many youth center programs are also open for teens. For information, check the Services insert in the paper weekly or call 987-6355.
The Department of Defense offers top notch childcare for children 6-weeks to 6-years-old in our CDCs.
At Little Rock, we don’t have a waiting list for childcare.
Since March 2009, Services has invited families to take advantage of hourly childcare opportunities at the CDC. Reservations may be made seven days in advance by calling 987-6130.
This is a great service for our base and I encourage you to take advantage of this benefit.
