Education Services (CYES)
Military families are transient, they relocate an average of every 2.9 years. Military kids fly before they learn to walk, and get their passports before their driver’s licenses. Their hometown isn’t on the map it is the map. As students, military kids attend 6 to 9 school by graduation.
Commander Navy Installations Command (CNIC) established Child & Youth Education Services (CYES) Navy-wide to address the education needs of military families that come with frequent transition and extended deployments. CYES is a function of Child & Youth Programs (CYP) under Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR). The Navy School Liaison Officer (SLO) is responsible for implementing all aspects of CYES and School-Based Programming.

CYES Mission
CYES helps connect military families to their command, school, community and future. The mission of Navy CYES School-Based Programming is to cultivate an environment supportive of transitioning families, school preparedness, and military mission readiness. School-Based Programming is a collaborative effort to facilitate transition and orientation experiences that addresses the needs of mobile students and provides support during deployments while promoting academic achievement and successful social and emotional adjustment at school.
