Child Development Center
 Providing more than just full day child care, the Child Development Center promotes active learning programs
for children age 6 weeks to 5 years and has a vested interest in Hurlburt's future, our children. The physical
environment protects children and supports a development program. Appropriate activities enhance the social, emotional,
cognitive and physical development of children. An adequate number of adults are provided to protect the health and
safety of children and provide a nurturing environment. Meals and snacks are provided and served in a pleasant
way to meet children's nutritional needs and instill good eating habits. Parents are encouraged to be actively
involved; staff and parents talk regularly about the program and the care of the children. Fees for this program
are based on a sliding scale for total family income. In addition to full time care; hourly care and slot leasing
may be available based on child absences from the program. The CDC participates in the FL state funded Voluntary
Pre Kindergarten (VPK) Program for children 4 years old and up. This program is available at the CDC for full-time
patrons and available in the Part-Day Enrichment Program providing 15 hours of VPK classroom instructions each
week during the school-year.
The CDC provides free child care to eligible families one Saturday a month for the Give-Parents-A-Break program sponsored by the Air Force Aid Society. For more information on this program contact the AFRC at 884-5442.
