Child, Youth, & School Services

Fort Benning Child, Youth & School Services programs support military readiness by reducing the conflict between a Soldier's mission requirements and his or her parental responsibilities. Our goals are to:

  • Facilitate family self-reliance and reinforce Army values.
  • Ensure availability of predictable programs and services for eligible children and youth ages 4-weeks to 18-years-old.
  • Maintain affordability of child and youth programs for both patrons and the Army through researching metrics, operational efficiencies and seamless service delivery.
  • Establish and sustain CYSS program quality as a "benchmark for the nation" in accordance with statutory requirements, DOD and Army standards.

Free Car Seat Check

Children younger than 8 must ride in a safety seat or booster seat. Fort Benning EMS conducts regular seat checks for military families the third Thursday of each month at the Main PX on Marne Road.

We will inspect your seat to ensure it is installed properly for the safety of your child.

For your convenience, seat checks can also be done any time at Building 9203, behind Martin Army Community Hospital.

Expectant parents can schedule an appointment for a car seat tutorial by calling 706-544-4000.
