Children are one of our greatest natural resources, and it is imperative that they receive quality care from trained and supported staff to help them reach their full potential. Childcare Resources makes this possible by providing information, education, and assistance to families, providers of child care, and the community.
Central Alabama’s only child care resource and referral agency, Childcare Resources was created as the outgrowth of a child care task force convened by United Way of Central Alabama in 1984 to address critical child care needs identified in Jefferson, Shelby, and Walker Counties, with Blount County added to the service area in 1988.
