Missouri Supporting Early Childhood Administrators (MO-SECA) provides early childhood administrators across the state with the knowledge, skills, and connections they need to effectively lead and operate sustainable, quality programs.
MO-SECA provides professional development to support participants in their business and career growth. Through group training, participants connect with fellow child care providers in their area and receive 1:1 coaching supports to help them reach personalized, self-directed goals.
Program participants receive a stipend for participation, clock hours for state licensure requirements, free resources, subscriptions, and more.
MOSECA is available for child care staff who provide administrative, operational, and/or teaching leadership for their programs (e.g., child care business owners, directors, assistant directors, program coordinators, owners and other leaders). MO-SECA is offered to licensed and license-exempt administrators of early childhood programs including child care centers, group homes and family-based child care businesses.
