They need help understanding the different types of child care, identifying programs that meet their family's needs, navigating child care subsidy, and connecting to community resources. Missouri Childhood Resource & Referral (MCRR) provides that support at no cost. MCRR's Concierge Referral Service connects families with a Specialist who provides personalized, one-on-one guidance. Specialists take the time to understand each family's unique needs, explain child care options, discuss what to look for in a quality program, and provide referrals that include your program when it meets the family's preferences and needs. MCRR also helps families navigate child care subsidy, access food and utility assistance, locate diaper resources, and connect with other community services that support family stability. By referring prospective families to MCRR, you provide them with personalized guidance while allowing your staff to focus on delivering quality care. A referral to MCRR does not replace your enrollment process. It strengthens it by helping families make informed decisions, understand their options, and access the resources they need before they enroll. Partner with MCRR by encouraging prospective families to contact us for a no-cost Concierge Referral and resource navigation. Together, we help families find the right child care and the supports they need to succeed.
