Preschools That Accept Child Care Subsidies in Alabama

The Alabama Department of Human Resources runs a subsidized child care program for low- and moderate-income families who work, study or train. Families apply through the regional Child Care Management Agency for their county, which decides eligibility and registers the providers that take part.

The subsidy only works at a registered provider, which is why this page exists. The Alabama programs below say they accept child care subsidies, DHR payment assistance or similar help. Policies change, so before you enroll, call and ask whether the program is taking subsidy families now, whether there is a waitlist for those seats, and what, if anything, the family pays on top. Families who qualify may also want to ask about Head Start and Early Head Start, which are free federal programs for eligible children up to age five.
