Child Day Care Association (CDCA) operates in the field of individual and family services, focusing on strengthening the child care system in the St. Louis region. Its programs include Child Care Resource & Referral and Child Nutrition Services, which help families locate care and ensure nutritious meals for young children, while supporting providers financially. CDCA traces its origins to 1969, when local child care center directors sought a centralized organization, with the United Way of St. Louis backing quality standards in centers receiving support. Today the organization employs about 47 staff and maintains an annual budget of roughly $2 million. Through its core programs, it assists more than 10,000 families, handles over 16,000 advisory calls, and reimburses more than 800 providers for feeding about 15,000 children. It is based in St. Louis, Missouri.
