New Facebook Page for Child Care Business Development

Misty O’Keefe, Child Care Aware® of Missouri’s chief business officer, created @MINDwithMisty on Facebook in response to the outpouring of requests for more information and more avenues to talk about the business side of child care.

This page will allow Misty to offer support, share experiences, and share nuggets to consider. Content will evolve as we move forward and see what the needs are and what the response is.

You can find the link to the Facebook page, @MINDwithMisty, at the following link:
