Child Care Keeps Missouri Working℠

Supporting Your Child’s Development

Every child grows and learns at their own pace—but as a parent, it’s not always easy to know what’s typical, what to look for, or how to support your child’s development along the way.

That’s why we offer more than just child care referrals. We’re also here to connect you with trusted child development tools and resources that can help you better understand and support your child at every stage.

Development Help at Your Fingertips

Through our Child Development Resources, you can find resources related to:

Developmental milestones to track your child’s growth
Home visiting services to encourage families to support their child’s development
WIC supplemental benefits to provide nutrition and breastfeeding support

Whether you’re wondering if your baby is on track with tummy time or trying to support your toddler’s language skills, these tools are here to empower you.

How Our Referral Team Can Support You

We know that choosing child care is about more than just convenience—it’s about making sure your child is safe, nurtured, and learning every day.

You’re Not Alone on This Journey

Parenting comes with questions. Our team is here to help you find answers. Whether you’re looking for a new child care provider or want support understanding your child’s development, we’re just a phone call or click away.

Get connected with the right resources when you need them—at no cost to you.
