Childcare Resources is a Birmingham based non-profit organization located at 244 West Valley Avenue, Suite 200, Birmingham, Alabama 35209 whose mission is to make quality care and education of children happen by providing information, education, and assistance to families, providers of child care, and the community. As Central Alabama’s only child care resource and referral agency, Childcare Resources was created as the outgrowth of a child care task force convened by United Way of Central Alabama in 1984 to address critical child care needs identified in Jefferson, Shelby, and Walker Counties, with Blount County added to the service area in 1988. The agency remains a United Way of Central Alabama partner agency today.
