Mission Statement

Carlisle Barracks Middle School & Teen Program has been established for youth in grades 6 - 12 so they may develop mentally, physically, emotionally and creatively, and acquire important social skills while working with other similarly aged youth from various backgrounds.

With this goal in mind, the program offers a variety of cultural, recreational and physical activities. We make every effort to develop young minds and bodies, promote good sportsmanship and offer wholesome leisure programs.

A large number of our success depends upon the support and interest of our youth, parents and volunteers. In the interest of better serving the youth of Carlisle Barracks we encourage the entire community to share its ideas and suggestions with us.

Features

Youth Service features a large game room (with pool tables, ping-pong, foosball, shuffleboard, wide sreen TV's, Game Cube, Play Station II, a Wii system, stereo system, and our state-of-the-art Youth Technology Lab). Teens are provided with an opportunity to participate in outdoor activities, cooking, arts & crafts, 4-H Club, Triple Play (sponsored by Boys & Girls Club of America), and video game tournaments.

Acceditation/Certification

DoD Certification and National Accreditation are required by the Military Child Care Act to attain and ensure CYSS program quality.

Accreditation: Child Development Centers, School-Age Programs and FCC homes are eligible for National Accreditation through an external evaluation process that surpass expectations and provide high quality care for children.

The National Association for the Education of Young Children is the accrediting body for Army CYSS Child Development Centers.

The National AfterSchool Association is the accrediting body for Army CYSS School Age programs.

The National Association for Family Child Care is the accrediting body for Army CYSS FCC homes.

Certification: DoD Certification, the equivalent of state licensing, is based on an Army internal evaluation process to ensure Army CYSS Child Development Centers, Family Child Care Homes and School-Age Programs meet required DoD quality standards. All caregivers must meet rigid training, health and safety standards, and are subject to unannounced inspections.
