Need Help Finding Child Care or Family Resources?

Finding child care and accessing family support services shouldn’t be overwhelming, and you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. At Child Care Aware® of Missouri, we help families across the state get connected to the care and resources they need, no matter their income or situation.

Our Missouri Child Care Resource and Referral (MCRR) service is free and available to all families.

Here’s How We Can Help:

✅ Child Care Referrals

Looking for a provider that matches your schedule, location, and child’s age? We offer personalized referrals to child care programs based on your family’s unique needs.

✅ Child Care Subsidy Support

Need help applying for the child care subsidy? We’ll guide you through the application process and explain what’s needed to qualify. We don’t process or approve applications, but we’re here to assist you throughout the process.

✅ Family Resources

From diapers and utility assistance to food and housing support, we connect families to local services and community resources that make a real difference.

Whether you're facing an urgent need or just trying to get ahead on planning for care, our Community Support Specialists are here to help.

Call us at 866-892-3228 or visit us at mochildcareaware.org/families. 

Whatever your circumstances, support is available for your family.
