The purpose for Child Development Services Programs is to assist Coast Guard personnel, military and civilian, in balancing the competing demands of family life and the accomplishment of the Coast Guard mission, and to improve the economic viability of the family unit (COMDTINST M1754.15).
The Child Development Center’s mission is to support Coast Guard families by providing quality care in a positive, safe, nurturing, developmentally appropriate environment for preschool aged children (children under the age of six), regardless of sex, race, culture, religion or national origin.
