YWCA child development center offers high-quality, low cost child care to families in birmingham and surrounding areas. Families in shelter or those who are identified as experiencing homelessness receive first priority slots in all of our programs with the exception of our alabama first class pre-k program. Our center operates nine early learning classrooms and has three main partnering agencies that fund slots for children in our program. We have two classrooms for each age range (infants, toddler ones, toddler twos, & preschoolers ages 3 & 4). Our last classroom is dedicated to alabama first class pre k (preschoolers who must turn 4 by September 1st, and those families are selected by a random drawing). Our program is licensed through the alabama department of human resources and accredited through the national association for the education of young children (naeyc). Our program is also star- rated through alabama quality stars quality rating and improvement system (also known as qris).
