Morning Star Center - LINC Caring Communities

State-approved professional development trainings are one service offered by LINC's Early Childhood team. The team also provides technical assistance to childcare providers and center directors, subsidy enrollment assistance, and DESE quality initiative supports. Its work focuses on infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in licensed or church-based centers that accept state subsidies in Jackson, Clay, Platte, and Cass counties. Since 1992, LINC has worked with Kansas City families and neighborhoods through programs for children and students, teens and young adults, adults seeking workforce success, and seniors. LINC Caring Communities connects students with support at school and offers before- and after-school programming. The organization also provides family assistance, including support that helps families remain stable in their homes and schools.
