Child Development Center
The program is led by qualified professionals in Early Childhood Education whose major goal is to promote your child's growth and development in a nurturing environment through meaningful learning experiences. The curriculum is developmentally appropriate, keeping in mind the specific needs of each individual child. Activities are planned, however these plans are flexible depending on the daily interests and needs of the children. Children are invited and encouraged to participate in individual and group activities designed to promote social, emotional, intellectual (cognitive), and physical development.

Caregivers administer the curriculum and guide the children's behavior. The ratio of staff to children is always sufficient to maintain constant supervision and implement a developmentally appropriate program.

Some examples of skills we foster are:
• Problem solving skills
• Socialization skills
• Self help skills
• Health and safety
• Self expression and creativity
• Independence
• Communication/language skills
• Large and small motor skills

Child Development Homes
The Child Development Home program is an alternative to center-based care and is often preferred by families because of the small group sizes, the home-like atmosphere and the flexible hours of operation that the center often cannot accommodate. Child Development Homes provide a warm, family setting in which children can participate in developmentally appropriate learning activities, as well as home life experiences. The children are able to build a trusting relationship with a provider who will foster their curiosity and creativity, provide guidance and give them the hugs they need.

Child Development Home Providers must be Navy Certified. The certification process is provided through the Child and Youth Programs and consists of Basic First Aid, CPR, Child Abuse Prevention, Child Development, Activity Planning, Nutrition, Business Practices and Parent/Customer Relations. In addition to the provider's certification they receive monthly-unannounced home inspections by the Child and Youth Program Director or Child Development Home Monitor and must successfully complete all required background screenings. Providers are also required to complete monthly trainings to ensure they provide the best possible care to your children.

School-Age Care
The School-Age Care program offers before and after school care for children ages five through fourteen. Our program is affiliated with the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, offering programs such as Power Hour, Project Learn, and Smart Moves. During school vacation days and weeks, full-day care is provided at the Center. School-Age Care is located at the Youth Center, Building 1297. For more information, please call 841-2883.

School-Age Summer Camp

Reservations: 841-4052
(Reservations required without normal base access) Tradition has it that on a late October's day in 1884, Commodore Stephen B. Luce, USN, was rowed from the flagship of the North Atlantic Squadron anchored off Newport to Coasters Harbor Island two miles north of the center of Newport, a site designated earlier that month by the Secretary of the Navy for a new kind of college. Once on the island, Luce proceeded to a large stone building, the former Newport Asylum for the Poor, climbed its rickety stairs, and as he opened the front door solemnly announced to his few companions and the empty grounds, "Poor little poorhouse, I christen thee United States Naval War College."

Today the "little poorhouse" is a well preserved and stately structure, a National Historic Landmark and home to the Naval War College Museum. Named Founders Hall in honor of the founding fathers of the College, it is uniquely suited for its current purpose. In addition to being the original site of the College, it is where Captain Alfred ?ayer Mahan, USN, second president (1886-1889) and subsequently a renowned naval historian, first delivered his lectures on sea power-lectures which were first published in 1890 as the epochal, ?e Influence of Sea Power Upon History, 1660-1783. Today, the Naval War College Museum is one of the 12 official museums of the U.S. Navy. It is operated under the Naval History and Heritage Command, Washington, D.C., in cooperation with the Naval War College.

Collection and Exhibit Themes
The Museum's themes are the history of naval warfare, particularly as studied at the College, and the naval heritage of Narragansett Bay—a tale that begins with the nation's colonial roots. Its' collection consists of items relating to these subjects that are perceived to be of value to scholarship, and it forms the core for exhibits throughout the College and for educational outreach projects. Besides permanent exhibits on the College, the genesis of the Navy in the region, and the evolution of permanent naval installations from the late nineteenth century to the present, the Museum features short-term special exhibits relating to College curriculum and to current naval related topics. In general, the Museum exhibits identify milestones in the evolutionary development of war at sea; explain the significance of the sea as a factor in the formulation and the attainment of national policy objectives; describe the character, educational philosophy, and mission of the College; and chronicle the eventful relationship of the U.S. Navy with Narragansett Bay and its people. Public access to the Museum with personal vehicle is through Gate 1 of U.S. Naval Station, Newport. For reservations please call (401) 841-4052 at least one working day in advance. Reservations and photo identification are necessary for entry onto the Naval Station. Visitors must stop at the Pass Office before proceeding to Gate 1.

Facilities for the handicapped are available as is a gift shop operated by the Naval War College Foundation (which partially funds Museum operations). Further information on exhibits and special events may be found by writing to:
