Child Development Center
Welcome to the Kirtland Air Force
Base Child Development Centers (CDCs) page. We are
extremely proud of our facilities and the dynamic
programs available to your children. Our centers are
accredited by the National Association for the Education
of Young Children and certified by the Department of
Defense (DoD). Our policies and Procedures are based on
Air Force Instruction 34-248, Department of Defense
Instruction 6060.2, Air Force Inspection Checklist and
local operation instructions.
The CDCs offer care, guidance and developmental
activities for your children while you fulfill your
obligations to the Air Force or enjoy educational,
recreational or social opportunities. A schedule of
activities, including meal and nap times, is posted in
each area. This is a flexible schedule which allows
Child Development Program Associates (CDPAs) to respond
to children's individual needs and provide you with
general times for scheduled activities.
