The Academy of Learning and Character Development

The Academy of Learning and Character Development Founded in 1996, ALCD is a non-profit 501(c3) organization located in Huntsville, Alabama. We have been in service for 20 years.

The mission of ALCD is to provide a safe, affordable high quality child care in a developmentally appropriate environment for preschool and school age children. ALCD is a non-profit community program that serves children from the ages 3 weeks to 12 years of age. We assist parents by providing services based on their ability to pay. ALCD provides free childcare services for homeless families, chil

dren from battered homes, and for Veterans while seeking employment. Our Center promotes excellence in education and we strive to develop morals and character skills. Our diversity helps our children understand various cultures allowing them to have multicultural experiences at and early age. We continue to bring new ideas into their curriculum to get their minds learning. We instill the concept "Today's Learner Tomorrows Leaders!"

We pride ourselves on hosting safe, uplifting, family-friendly events in our community that are open to the public. We continue to find new ways to service those who are in need in in the community.

📸 What an unforgettable day of learning, leadership, and inspiration! 🚀❤️

The Academy of Learning and Character Development (ALCD) extends our heartfelt thanks to Senator Tom Butler, Rep. Marilyn Lands, and Rep.Laura Hall for taking the time to visit our students, tour our program, and learn more about the impact ALCD is making in the lives of children and families in our community. Your presence and encouragement meant so much to our students and staff.

A very special thank you to Charles Austin and Briana Fleming from the U.S. Space & Rocket Center for providing an incredible hands-on STEM experience by helping our future engineers design, build, and launch rockets! Watching the excitement, curiosity, and confidence on our students' faces was truly priceless.

Finally, a huge thank you to Emmanuel with Cultural Roots Photography for beautifully capturing these special moments. Your amazing photographs tell the story of a day filled with discovery, joy, and inspiration.

At ALCD, we believe every child deserves opportunities to dream big, explore boldly, and discover their potential. Thanks to community partners like these, those dreams are becoming reality every day.

💚 Together, we're inspiring the next generation of leaders, innovators, and changemakers!

We had the pleasure of receiving a visit from Alabama State Rep. Marilyn Lands!! ❤️❤️❤️

She was able to spend some time with the incredible children that we serve and learn more about our mission to help more children in Madison County. We appreciate her taking the time to visit, listen, and see firsthand the impact our programs have on local families.

Representative Lands has demonstrated a strong commitment to issues affecting women, children, and families, and we are grateful that she took the opportunity to learn more about the needs of the children in our community. Conversations like these help shine a light on the importance of investing in the next generation.

Thank you, Representative Lands, for visiting ALCD. We appreciate your time, your interest in our mission, and your dedication to making a positive difference for Alabama's children and families.
