Child care providers across Missouri are navigating rising costs, staffing challenges, and families struggling to afford care. Child Care Works (CCW) was designed to support all three—providers, families, and employers—through a shared-cost model.

By enrolling to accept CCW benefits, providers gain access to families whose tuition is supported through employer contributions combined with state, local, or philanthropic funding. This means families can afford care they might otherwise leave—and providers receive full tuition through a predictable payment structure.

Accepting CCW doesn’t require changing how you operate—it expands access to affordable child care for families while helping diversify and stabilize your revenue.
