This funding opportunity allows for an incentive to help sustain the operations of child care subsidy providers. The amount of the incentive is dependent upon the child care business accepting subsidy, the child care license status, and the number of children on subsidy attending their program. Attendance is determined each month based on the child’s attendance at the child care program according to the state’s Child Care Business Information System (CCBIS) data system. Attendance is defined as the child being present in the facility for a portion of one (1) day, it does not include absences or holidays recorded in CCBIS.  Child care programs contracted to receive Missouri state child care subsidy, but not licensed, the program is eligible to receive $100 per child in attendance at the facility for any month from January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023. Child care programs contracted to receive Missouri state child care subsidy, and are licensed facilities, the program is eligible to receive $250 per child in attendance at the facility any month from January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023. To receive this funding, the children’s attendance records must be documented in CCBIS accurately and in a timely manner to ensure proper payment. State staff will use attendance records in CCBIS as the sole source of information to determine payment for this funding opportunity, according to the following time frame:  - CCBIS attendance records between January 1, 2022 and October  31, 2022, state staff will analyze records upon approval of the child care provider’s application and issue payment accordingly. - CCBIS attendance records between November 1, 2022and June 30, 2023, state staff will analyze records ninety (90) days after the month of attendance to ensure providers have the allowed amount of time to update attendance. The deadline to apply for the Sustain Child Care Subsidy Operation grant is May 31, 2023.   Explore our other Child Care Aware® of Missouri resources: [FREE Clock Hour Training](https://partnerpublication.mochildcareaware.org/partner-publication/tag/free-clock-hour-training) [Scholarships for Educators](https://partnerpublication.mochildcareaware.org/partner-publication/tag/scholarships-for-educators) [Child Care Health and Wellness](https://partnerpublication.mochildcareaware.org/partner-publication/tag/child-care-nutrition-and-physical-activity) [Family Child Care Network](https://partnerpublication.mochildcareaware.org/partner-publication/tag/family-child-care-network) [Leadership Development Opportunities](https://partnerpublication.mochildcareaware.org/partner-publication/tag/leadership-development-opportunities) [Missouri Office of Childhood Updates](https://partnerpublication.mochildcareaware.org/partner-publication/tag/missouri-office-of-childhood-updates) [Show Me Child Care Resources](https://partnerpublication.mochildcareaware.org/partner-publication/tag/show-me-child-care-resources) [Support Child Care Aware® of Missouri](https://partnerpublication.mochildcareaware.org/partner-publication/tag/support-child-care-aware) [Community Data](https://partnerpublication.mochildcareaware.org/partner-publication/tag/community-data) [Join Our Team](https://partnerpublication.mochildcareaware.org/partner-publication/tag/join-our-team) [Resources to Build Your Business ](https://partnerpublication.mochildcareaware.org/partner-publication/tag/resources-to-build-your-business)     #### About - Menu Item One - Menu Item Two - Menu Item Three #### Services - Menu Item One - Menu Item Two - Menu Item Three #### News - Menu Item One - Menu Item Two - Menu Item Three Follow us on Facebook Follow us on LinkedIn Follow us on Twitter Follow us on Instagram
