Marcie Lawson, President/CEO of the
Bootheel Progress With Partnership
Sikeston Chamber & Tourism, hosted a child care provider networking meeting last night and invited Child Care Aware of Missouri to share more information about Child Care Works and TOOTRiS.

As we work to engage more employers across MO in offering child care benefits, it’s important we have child care programs ready to receive payments through Child Care Works and TOOTRiS. Child care programs can participate as employers too and support their own employees.
