Supporting Children’s Learning and Development.
The early years of a child’s life are some of the most important for brain development, learning, and emotional growth. At Family Guidance Center of Alabama, we are committed to providing families with access to high-quality early education programs that prepare children for school and equip parents and caregivers with the tools to support their child’s development.
From Head Start/Early Head Start to Success By 6, our programs offer structured learning experiences, health screenings, and family support services to ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive. We also help working parents access child care financial assistance, making early education more accessible and affordable for families in need.
