Our Vision All communities across Kansas value and support early childhood development. Our Mission High-quality early education is available to all Kansas families and children. We work daily to ensure that families have access to high-quality child care. Services include: • Providing families across the state with child care referral lists and child development consumer education; • Supporting child care providers, programs and early learning staff through statewide quality initiatives and professional development events and; • Being actively involved in advocacy efforts that work for positive changes that impact Kansas children and communities. At Child Care Aware of Kansas, we are in a unique position to work with families, the early childhood field, and state and local government to strengthen the quality of child care. We work to inform the public on the importance of investing in early childhood development with a focus on the interactions made and the skills learned that prepare children for school.
