FAMILY GUIDANCE CENTER OF ALABAMA

Family Guidance Center of Alabama is dedicated to strengthening families through partnering with families, organizations, and communities and through the provision of an accessible comprehensive system of coordinated programs and services designed to enable people of all ages in Alabama to envision and achieve their goals.
The Child Care Education and Training Program provides continued education training for directors, assistant directors, center teachers, center staff, parents, and family child care providers. We offer four specific training series that are designed for particular age groups, as well as general training related to child development. Throughout the year the Child Care Education and Training Program in both Dothan and Montgomery offer special training events that include, Sensational Saturday Child Care Conference, Director’s Conference, Supporting Children with Special Needs Conference, Week of the Young Child Teacher Training and Children’s Concerts and Alabama Early Learning Guidelines Course.
The Montgomery and Dothan Child Care Resource Lending Libraries, in partnership with the Department of Human Resources, promote quality child care by providing information, education, and assistance to child care providers and directors, parents, and community members. Both are comprehensive lending libraries that offer children’s books, curriculum books for teachers, resource kits, video and audio tapes, and periodicals available for check out.
