Our Mission
The Kirtland Air Force Base Youth Sports program
mission is to provide all eligible youth, a forum /
opportunity to participate in a vast array of
individual, team, and leisure sports, while creating an
encouraging, fun, instructional, and safe environment
for youth to develop physically, mentally, and socially.
Our Philosophy
The Kirtland Air Force Base Youth Sports program will
follow the National Standards for Youth Sports, which
were developed by an assembly of forty-eight (48) of the
nation’s leading experts representing a wide variety of
disciplines affecting youth sports. They developed
these Standards to provide all youth groups with a focus
on what is best for children in their growing and
learning years. Through the implementation of these
Standards, parents can feel confident that youth sports
will truly be a positive character building experience
for their child.

Youth Programs
We would like to welcome
you to Part-Day Preschool and say how thrilled we
are to have you join us. The program is focused not
only on caring for your children, but in also
involving parents. You are not only invited but also
encouraged to join us for snack in our family style
dining, participate in any planned activities, and
share any hobbies or special skills with your
child’s class.
In order to have the program run smoothly and
effectively for your children, we have a few
requests. Here, your child will be assigned a cubby
where he/she are encouraged to bring a change of
clothing in case of an emergency. We ask that your
child does not bring any toys from home, primarily
for safety reasons; we want all of our children to
remain in a good health and stay safe. We also ask
that as you enter the classroom, have your child
wash their hands. All these things will provide a
safe and efficient
environment for everyone.
If there are any questions, suggestions, or
concerns, we strongly encourage you to talk with any of the other Youth
Programs staff. Also feel free to call us at
853-KIDS. Enjoy your new environment and friends!
