Resource and Referral

Child Care

Needing help with the difficult task of finding child care? Contact the Missouri Child Care Resource & Referral Network (MOCCRRN). MOCCRRN coordinates activities with eight local Child Care Resource & Referral agencies statewide. Child Care Resource & Referral staff assist families in locating child care through referrals to local child care providers.

Inclusion Services

What Is Inclusive Child Care?
An inclusive child care program is dedicated to giving the best early care and education possible to ALL children by making sure every child, including children with special needs, feels welcome and important. Inclusion teaches children and adults some great life lessons in accepting others and ourselves as unique individuals with unique strengths and needs.

How Do I Find an Inclusive Child Care Program?
Although there are some child care facilities that specialize in caring for children with special needs, most facilities are not specialized. You can call your local CCR&R agency at 800 –200-9017 or visit www.moccrrn.org for help finding a suitable program. Each CCR&R agency in Missouri has staff available to help families find inclusive child care programs in their communities. These services are provided through funding from Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.
