‘Give Parents A Break’ program back in ’19

“Give Parents a Break” is back for 2019, with the first program held Saturday. The program continues to offer eligible families a break from the stresses of parenting, particularly families impacted by deployments, remote tours, extended work hours, family crisis, hardships, etc.

The dates for the rest of the year are: Feb. 2, March 2, April 6, May 4, June 1, July 13, Aug. 3, Sept. 14, Oct. 19, Nov. 2 and Dec. 7 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Prairies Child Development Center will start taking reservations the Monday following each GPAB date, and no reservations will be taken the week of. Cancellations must be done by close of business Wednesday before the next event date to ensure eligibility for the next session. Care is offered to children 6 months to 12 years.

This is a time that parents can use to suit their personal needs and get some extra support they need.

Another part to the GPAB program starts on the first month of deployment and ends upon the returning month. To sign up, bring a copy of the spouse’s deployment orders to Airman & Family Readiness Center (Area A, Bldg. 2).

To find out more information about dates, eligibility, payments or to make reservations, call Prairies Child Development Center at 656-8701.
