Focal

In 1972 the American Friends Service Committee and the Selma Project convened a meeting of low-income child care suppliers and child care ad vocates. Motivated by the desire to care for kids more effectively, and the need to care for poor and minority kids in settings close to home, this unique group of people organized the Federation of Child Care Centers of Alabama (FOCAL) Since that time we currently have expanded from a tiny group of child care operators and concerned citizens to a statewide organization of over 300 members.
