Advance Your Career in Early Childhood

If you’re passionate about working with young children and ready to take the next step in your career, TEACH Early Childhood® Missouri Scholarships can help you move forward without putting your finances on hold. Whether you’re just beginning your journey or looking to earn a college degree, TEACH Missouri supports child care educators as they advance along the early childhood career pathway while continuing to work in the field they love.

Best of all, TEACH Missouri makes this opportunity affordable and achievable. Scholarships cover the majority of tuition and books, with added bonuses for completing your contract and staying at your child care program. With guidance from dedicated Scholarship Counselors, you’re supported every step of the way, from application to graduation.
