The
CDH program places priority on operating standards, staff
training, personal qualifications and background screening.
Homes are inspected annually by Preventive Medicine, Fire/Safety
Inspector and monthly by CDH Director or monitor. Providers
are approved by the Quality Review Board and certified by
the NASP Commanding Officer. Providers with off base homes
who choose to be CDH certified are also licensed by the
State.
Spouses who want to become CDH Providers
are trained several times per year. Certification is transferable
to other bases.
A referral list of on and off base certified
providers is available at the Child and Youth Programs Office.
