Why Our
Work Matters
The first five years shape how a child learns for the rest of their life. Families and childcare providers carry most of that responsibility, often with limited support. FamDEC exists to help close that gap in Gadsden and Etowah County, starting with the classrooms and homes where young children spend their time.
