Childcare Directory
Childcare in Huntsville & North Alabama
Whether it's at six weeks, six months, or six years, when it's time for our babies to leave the nest we want to make sure the place they go next is the perfect fit. That's why Rocket City Mom has compiled this list of daycares, Mother's Morning Out programs, preschools, and after school care options for local parents.
For the purposes of this directory we have listed schools in the category or categories they use to describe themselves. Generally this means that daycares service children as young as six weeks, MMO programs are half-day, and preschools are academic in nature.
A listing here should not be construed as an endorsement of a facility and we strongly encourage parents to do their research before enrolling a child in any childcare program.
Have we missed a local program? Please let us know by sending an email to events@rocketcitymom.com.

A huge thanks to The Learning Zone for sponsoring our Childcare Directory and helping local families find the best start for their little ones!
With two locations now serving the Huntsville-Madison area, their STEAM preschool curriculum for ages 6 weeks through pre-kindergarten encourages children to thrive through imaginative play and hands-on discovery. It is the perfect environment for children to explore, experiment, and ask questions while building a foundation for lifelong learning.
