##### Support Child Care Aware® of Missouri during Give STL Day, 24 hours of giving.

Child Care Aware® of Missouri’s mission is to impact a child’s first two-thousand days by helping those who serve children. We help families, child care programs, child care educators, and business and community leaders. 

Working statewide through these audiences allows us to change the lives of Missouri’s children. If you are a manager or owner, safe, reliable, available, and affordable child care allows your workforce to be fully engaged. Investing in child care is investing in the future workforce of Missouri.

Megan S., a family child care owner, shared how a recent project, the Peer to Peer Network on Emergency Preparedness,  impacted her and her program. 

‘I appreciate this session because it made me think realistically about "worst case scenario". Several experienced providers shared tips and experiences that gave me a new ideas in the event of an emergency.’

Not only did she become aware of items to make her family child care business more sustainable, she was able to connect and network with other family child care owners across Missouri.

Your donations allow us to continue our work to impact Missouri’s children!
