ACHR’s wrap-around program serves children ages 0-12 at Darden Center in Opelika and Marian Wright Edelman Center in rural Russell County, Alabama.
Wrap-around childcare to parents who are working or in school and need daycare. Hours are 6:00 a.m. – 8:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m., and full day during the summer and winter holiday period. (Hours at Edelman are slightly different.) Vouchers are accepted. If the child does not have vouchers, we accept payment on a sliding fee scale. Transportation can be provided to and from Opelika City Schools on written request.
