FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Will I get a Wait List number if I request care through Military Child Care?
You will get a wait list number; however, it may not reflect your actual wait time. Once enrolled, your request will go through Fort Carson's Parent Central Services.  They will contact you once space is available.  You can always call Parent Central at (719) 526-1101 or (719) 526-8220 for status updates.

Why do I have to register my children for CYS annually?
The Department of Defense requires children's records to be updated annually or as needed for their health, safety, or well-being.

Why does my child need a sports physical?
Sports physicals are required to show that your child is able to safely participate in physical activities. They are required annually and must be valid through the sports season.  Any physical containing a review of bodily systems will suffice.  Health assessments completed annually meet sports physical requirements.

How often do I need to complete a health assessment for my child?
A health assessment is required 30 days from the date of registration. The health assessment must be completed by a physician every three years. Parents must sign to certify health assessments annually. If there are changes in your child’s medical condition(s) at any time, the health assessment will need to be completed by a physician.

What if my child needs special accommodations?
A special need is any medical condition and/or allergies identified and annotated by a doctor. It is identified through the completion of a Health Screening Tool during registration. Every child will receive a recommended care plan based on the information presented from the Multi-disciplinary Inclusion Action Team (MIAT). 

Are immunizations required to register?
Yes.  CYS is required to follow the Center for Disease Control Recommended Immunizations. The State of Colorado also follows these recommended immunizations. Medical and Religious Waivers are accepted.  See more details on the Parent Central Services page.

Who should I contact if I have questions or concerns?
Call Parent Central Services at (719) 526-1101 or (719) 526-8220.

Immunization Requirements

Proof of Immunizations is required for CDC (ages 6 weeks-5 years) children upon registration. Children and Youth ages 6-18 who are enrolled in school are not required to submit proof, however, it is encouraged.

If a child/youth does not have documentation of any given immunization for which Army Public Health Nurse (APHN) has deemed an outbreak, the youth will be excluded from care until the outbreak has resolved OR proof of immunization is provided. An exemption for an immunization may be permitted for medical or religious reasons. Philosophical exemptions are not permitted.

CYS follows Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 6060.02 Child Development Programs Immunizations which states: Children enrolling in or currently enrolled in DoD CDPs must provide written documentation of immunizations appropriate for the child’s age. Per AR 40-562/BUMEDINST 6230.15A/AFJI 48-110/CG COMDTINST M6230.4F (Reference (u)), immunizations recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) are required.

These recommendations are in line with the recommendations by the Center for Disease Control and the State of Colorado.
