Travis has three Child Development Centers which have passed the
rigorous processing to be accredited by the National Association for the
Education of Young Children. This recognition has been achieved by only seven
percent of early childhood programs nationwide and is among the few with this
accreditation in Northern California.
The centers provide developmental
and educational care for infants, toddlers, and preschool children. Child
development and preschool programs are available for dependents of active duty
military and Department of Defense civilians on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Preschool classes are offered for children three and four years of age. Children
may be enrolled for either two or three days per week.
The centers use a
reservation system to better meet the needs of as many parents and children as
possible. Child care fees are aligned with the military pay day to help families
better manage their finances. Fees for care are based upon total family income.
Verification of income is required to assess fees for child care.
