Did you know that not all child care facilities in Alabama are inspected?
Choosing a child care facility for your child can be a difficult and confusing process, but it is one of the most important decisions you will make. Because licensing of a child care facility in Alabama is not required, it's important that you know what to look for when faced with this task.
VOICES wants to help and has developed some tools to assist parents, grandparents, and others that might need child care for their children.
