State Licensed Child Care Means Better Quality Care
We are stronger together!
We are an association of Licensed Childcare Center Owners dedicated to improving the lives of the children we care for, the parents we serve, and the teachers we employ. We do this by contributing our unified provider’s perspective in the legislative and administrative policy arenas, actively addressing significant issues affecting Alabama’s childcare centers and family childcare homes, and keeping the continual improvement of services and preschool options as our focal point and primary driver.
We need to be the VOICE of Alabama Owners
Together we stand united to work alongside Alabama Department of Human Resources Childcare Licensing to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of every child is met along with the realities of operating a state licensed center in Alabama.
The association's goal is statewide representation across all counties. JOIN today to be part of a unified voice.
