The Fiscal year 2021 proved to be the beginning of a new normal after COVID-19 swept through Missouri.
Many child care programs faced numerous challenges in maintaining program service delivery while also protecting the health and safety of children, families, and staff during the pandemic. Some child care programs were able to transition their daily services from in-person to include some virtual options that allowed them to stay connected with families and continue providing a level of care and education to children during the pandemic. While some child care programs continued to operate as before, other child care programs could not withstand the financial uncertainty of decreased revenue and loss of staff and consequently closed their doors permanently.
