Child Care Providers
The child care resource and referral (CCR&R)
agencies of Missouri work with child care providers around the state to
help them do their best. Throughout Missouri, there are seven local CCR&R
agencies. The local staff will list your program in their database and
refer parents to you. They will also help you find training
and educational opportunities, answer your questions about quality care,
and connect you with other providers and resources in your community.
Many of the agencies have libraries where you can check out toys, books,
videos, and equipment. Each CCR&R is a little different, so call the
one closest to you to see what we have to offer. (How
