Build a Stronger Child Care Business—Without the Extra Work

Running a child care program means wearing many hats. Between caring for children, supporting families, managing staff, meeting licensing requirements, and handling daily operations, there isn't much time left to search for helpful business resources.

That's where the Missouri Childhood Resource and Referral (MCRR) service can help.

MCRR offers free tools, resources, and support designed to help child care owners and directors build stronger, more successful programs. Whether you're opening a new program, growing your enrollment, or looking for ways to connect with more families, MCRR is your partner every step of the way.

Get Found by More Families with TOOTRiS

One of the most valuable resources available through MCRR is the TOOTRiS Provider Platform. Child Care Aware® of Missouri manages Missouri's statewide child care provider database through TOOTRiS, making it easier than ever for families to find quality child care.

By claiming and updating your provider profile, you can:

• Increase your program's visibility to families searching for care.
• Keep your program information accurate and up to date.
• Support statewide initiatives like Child Care Works.
• Position your program for future opportunities and incentives.

Getting started is easy! Simply use the TOOTRiS Quick Start Guide for step-by-step instructions to claim and complete your profile or log directly into TOOTRiS https://providers.tootris.com using your email to start the process. If you need assistance, the Child Care Aware® of Missouri team is ready to help.

Earn Rewards for Completing Your Profile

There's even an added bonus! Eligible providers who achieve Enrollment Ready status receive a $50 gift card, with additional incentives available through the TOOTRiS platform as they're offered.

At Child Care Aware® of Missouri, our goal is simple: help you spend less time searching for resources and more time doing what you do best—providing high-quality care for Missouri's children and families.
