Child Care Keeps Missouri Working℠ acts as a vital link between Missouri businesses, working families, child care providers, and those wanting to invest in children’s early learning experiences.
Business Services: We are helping Missouri businesses tap into their potential and develop a stronger more reliable workforce.
Child Care Cost Sharing Programs
Cost sharing programs help working families afford child care by splitting the cost between the family, employer, and other funding partners. Through these programs, families can save up to 75% on child care costs. Businesses gain an affordable child care benefit that supports productivity, improves retention, and helps attract and keep
talent.
Child Care Market Expansion
Lack of child care capacity presents a big challenge for parents and caregivers who want to be engaged in the workforce. When you partner with Child Care Aware of Missouri, we can help identify available slots and work with child care providers to increase capacity in your area specifically for your employees — helping them keep their commitments to you as their employer and while taking great care of their families.
Family Services: Through resource and referral services, we are helping families navigate searching for child care and providing peace of mind.
Resource and Referral Services
Child Care Aware® of Missouri provides basic and enhanced (concierge) child care referrals to help families make informed child care choices. Our enhanced service includes personalized child care searches, guidance on what quality child care looks like, and customized reports based on your needs.
We also connect families to local resources and provide support with Missouri child care subsidy navigation, including help completing the subsidy application.
