✨ Big wins for Alabama’s children and families this year!

Thanks to the leadership of our state legislators and advocates across Alabama, these four key bills are now law — strengthening support for children, parents, healthier communities, and safer digital spaces.

From protecting children online to investing in early childhood development and cleaner public spaces, these policies represent meaningful progress for families across our state. 💙💚

At Children First, we’re proud to help shape public policy that puts Alabama’s children first.

Our children and families deserve more from our state! As the article says:

“Limited access to high-quality childcare can make full-time employment more difficult, while fewer women in leadership roles may signal narrower career advancement paths. These challenges are especially significant for households balancing rising living costs with child-rearing responsibilities.”

Alabama should be a place where families thrive! We’ve got to do more.

Alabama ranks near last for working moms, but what factors are driving it? A new WalletHub study breaks down the biggest challenges.

We are proud of Alabama and this 20 year milestone. As Governor Kay Ivey says, “This 20-year milestone is more than a recognition. It is a legacy.”

We’re proud to support the work of the Alabama Department of Early Childhood Education and their dedication to Alabama’s smallest citizens!

Gov. Kay Ivey and the Alabama Department of Early Childhood Education announced Wednesday that Alabama’s First Class Pre-K program was once again recognized nationally.
