FOCAL is a non-profit organization based in Montgomery, AL that is dedicated to advocating for quality child care and early education programs. They work with various stakeholders, including working families, businesses, government, and the industry itself, to ensure that every child in Alabama has access to safe and high-quality care. FOCAL believes that quality child care is crucial for children's success and lays the foundation for school readiness and future workforce productivity.
With a focus on the economic impact of the early care and education industry, FOCAL emphasizes the importance of investing in child care programs. They highlight that more than half of Alabama's children under the age of six are cared for by someone other than a parent due to their parents' workforce participation. FOCAL advocates for protecting the child care subsidy program and implementing meaningful revenue solutions to maintain the trajectory of learning and success for Alabama's children and families.
