Jaad's Child Care

Welcome to JAAD's Child Care, a premier early learning center established in 1996 by Andrew and Theresa Hardwick, both graduates of Alabama State University. Our story began with a mission to provide a nurturing environment that fosters the cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development of young children. Over the years, we have grown to become a trusted name in early childhood education, committed to providing a unique learning experience that prepares children for a lifetime of success.
