Families often need more than just a list of resources. Sometimes they need hands-on support, trusted local connections, and guidance from someone who understands the unique needs of their community.

That is where Regional Community Partners (RCPs) make a difference.

Child Care Aware® of Missouri partners with Regional Community Partners across the state to provide local support to families searching for child care and community resources.

RCPs help families by:

- Connecting them to child care programs in their area
- Assisting with child care subsidy navigation
- Linking families to local resources and supports
- Providing in-person and community-based assistance
- Helping families understand their options and next steps

Because RCPs are embedded within the communities they serve, they can provide personalized support that reflects local needs, resources, and opportunities.

This community-based approach helps ensure families receive the guidance and support they need to successfully access services and overcome barriers.
