Categories
- Child Abuse and Neglect: Greene County continues to face a serious issue with child abuse and neglect. The rates of children affected by abuse and neglect remain alarmingly high compared with the state of Missouri. These high rates indicate underlying issues that need urgent attention and action. Addressing this issue is crucial for the safety and well-being of the children and the future health of the community.
- Access to Child Care: The Early Care and Community Planning Project identified that in Springfield alone there is a shortage of almost 2,000 infant and toddler spots and 800 spots for children eligible for Head Start and Early Head Start Program. Parents have to choose child care based on availability when the focus should be on quality and which program best fits their family’s needs.
