The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded a $230,781,954 Block Grant to the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2024 under the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDF) program.
The Child Care and Development Block Grant provides funding to help certain low-income families access child care and improve quality for all children. As the designated state administrator, the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education will use this funding to support child care subsidies and quality initiatives in the state through September 2024. Key services provided will likely include financial assistance for child care costs to support parental employment or education/training, as well as activities to enhance the quality of care available to Missouri families through the grant period.
