Child Care Aware® of Missouri is hosting our third annual walk on September 17th, 2022. This walk is intended to raise funds to support our mission: to impact a child’s first two-thousand days by helping those who serve children.

Child care is the backbone of Missouri’s economy—ensuring families can work and businesses are productive. Child Care Aware® of Missouri works to support Missouri’s children, families, and child care business owners. We accomplish our mission by:  

·         Building into the child care workforce with training and scholarships

·         Providing leadership development services to the child care workforce and community leaders

·         Providing child care businesses with business coaching and financial supports

·         Working with communities to build child care supply

·         Advocating for high-quality child care

Child care is essential and without it, Missouri families cannot go to work or provide for their families financially.
