Keeping Child Care Running Smoothly

As a child care provider, your attention should stay where it matters most, on the children in your care. Regional Community Partners (RCPs) are part of the Missouri Childhood Resource and Referral service and provide support to families at no cost. RCPs help the families you serve by guiding them through child care subsidy questions and applications so care can remain consistent.

Through in person or virtual hands-on assistance, RCPs support families with child care subsidy applications, renewals, and general questions. By helping ensure forms are completed accurately, they reduce delays that could otherwise interrupt care.

Recently, one provider reached out when two families needed extra support during renewal season. With assistance from their local RCP, both families submitted correct applications and were approved quickly, allowing children to remain enrolled and daily routines to continue smoothly.
