Child Care Aware® of Missouri (CCAMO) has been the state’s leading source of child care information, referrals, and child care industry workforce development for nearly 20 years. We believe that the first two thousand days of a child’s life makes a difference. Our mission is to raise the quality of early childhood educational experiences in Missouri by improving child care services – through training, education, quality standards, coaching, business support, and policy work.
In Fiscal Year 2020, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, we positively impacted more than 10,000 families, 8,000 early childhood educators, and 138,000 children. In Fiscal Year 2021, we have worked even harder and engaged with families, child care programs, educators, and businesses in 111 of 115 Missouri counties. (On the map, the darker the color, the greater the number of engagements.)
