"Teach Early Childhood ~ Touch the Future"

Preparing children to meet the challenges of tomorrow requires the entire community. Parents, families, early childhood and school-age teachers and others work together to provide learning opportunities for children.

Raising the bar is especially important for child care programs. For at-risk children, receiving care from a quality child care program significantly increases their chances of entering school with the skills they need to succeed. Supporting the community to help children develop and grow is at the heart of Educare services.

Through our relocation to the Center for Family Policy and Research on the Campus of the University of Missouri, Columbia, we are able to direct more resources and opportunities toward serving at-risk children and families.
