The Federal Offices of Child Care and Head Start awarded Early Head Start-Child Care Partnership (EHS-CC) grants in Missouri. The purpose of the EHS-CC Partnership grant is to expand the availability of Early Head Start programs through the use of private child care programs. The EHS-CC grant allows providers to receive Child Care Subsidy based on the needs of the child in addition to the Early Head Start funding. EHS-CC partnership grantees are able to receive Child Care Subsidy for non-core and core hours.
