The mission of the Missouri Child Care Resource and Referral Network is to provide coordinated, statewide child care resource and referral services that promote a high quality child care system.

The primary task of the Network is to coordinate the activities and services of the child care resource and referral ("CCR&R") agencies in Missouri. (Map)

The Network office works closely with each local CCR&R to ensure a high quality of service delivery and accountability. Local CCR&R agencies:

• Help families find child care and provide them with consumer education materials.
• Provide technical assistance, training and loan opportunities to child care providers.
• Serve employers with consulting assistance and child care benefits for their employees.
• Provide community resources to funders, legislators and others by tracking supply, demand, cost, quality and other critical issues.
• Help families and providers care for children with special needs.
