Providing 25 Years of Career Changing Scholarships

The TEACH Early Childhood® Missouri Scholarship (TEACH Missouri) is a nationally licensed scholarship program focused on increasing the quality of early care and education young children receive in community-based early childhood programs. We do this by awarding scholarships to increase the education, compensation and retention of the early childhood workforce. Since 2000, TEACH Missouri has been administered by Child Care Aware® of Missouri.

As part of our celebration, TEACH Missouri is launching a new logo and look. Originally T.E.A.C.H. MISSOURI, which stood for Teacher Education and Compensation Helps, we are now moving to TEACH Missouri without the periods. To avoid confusion with other scholarships labeled as teach, you will also see us using our full name in print more often, the TEACH Early Childhood® Missouri Scholarships. You will also notice these changes in our new logo.

Throughout the year, TEACH Missouri will share our history, growth and accomplishments as we prepare for our next quarter of a century of service to Missouri early care and education professionals.
