Business Services: We are helping Missouri businesses tap into their potential and develop a stronger more reliable workforce.

Child Care Works

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 on child care costs. Businesses gain an affordable child care benefit that supports productivity, improves retention, and helps attract and keep talent.

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 such as food banks, mental health services, and utility assistance. We also provide support with Missouri child care subsidy navigation, including help completing the subsidy application.
