“One hundred years from now, It will not matter what kind of car I drove, What kind of house I lived in, Or how much money I had in the bank, But the world may be a better place because I made a difference in a child's life.”

Our Mission Is To Love, Serve, and Protect Families
Healthy Kids is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, formed in 1997, dedicated to the care and well-being of Alabama’s children. We aim to make a difference in the lives of Alabama’s Children by strengthening families.
We Offer Free Services to The Families In Our Community
We offer the following three services for free and provide support for parents as well as the precious children of our community:
- Excel: Helping parents start their own home child-care business
- Parents As Teachers: promoting school readiness by providing both curriculum and materials for parents to teach their children at home
- Child Adult Care Food Program (CACFP): information and claiming support for the USDA food program for eligible family daycare providers
Making A Positive Impact In The Lives of children Every Day
As a not-for-profit, and by operating as a lean organization where every dollar can make a difference, we can pour resources back into the community, bringing support to where it’s needed most.
We Support Our Community with The Strengthening Families Approach
We help strengthen families by promoting the skills, strengths, resources, and support they need. Empowering individuals, families, communities, and the larger society means offering children a brighter future. We support families in the following ways:
- Parental/Provider Resilience
- Social Connections
- Concrete Support in Times of Need
- Knowledge of Parenting and Child Development
- Social and Emotional Competence of Children
- Protective Factors
How Protective Factors Help Families and The Community
Extensive evidence supports the common-sense notion that when these Protective Factors are present and robust in a family, the likelihood of abuse and neglect diminishes, and we can create healthy environments for the optimal development of all children.
