Lemay Child & Family Center

Founded in 1976, Lemay Child and Family Center (previously known as Lemay Daycare) is a year round early childhood education center with programs for children 6 weeks old through 5 years old. Lemay Child and Family Center (LCFC) provides access to high quality early education and support for families in a diverse, nurturing environment, regardless of a family's financial situation or a child's developmental level. LCFC partners with families to strengthen and promote children's healthy physical, cognitive and social emotional development.
Who we serve:
•Up to 150 children annually, ages 6 weeks through 5 years old in our Infant Toddler Program and Preschool Program.
•Currently, 60% of children come from families currently receiving MO Childcare Assistance and 90% of children
enrolled are receiving Lemay Child and Family Center early childhood education scholarships.
•Our children are 49% Caucasian, 16% Bi-racial, 13% African American and 2% Hispanic/Latino

needs of the disadvantaged families we serve.
