KVC Missouri is a private, nonprofit organization that is dedicated to training, licensing and supporting foster parents to care for vulnerable youth who have experienced abuse, neglect and other serious family challenges.
KVC Missouri provides a wide range of family strengthening services, foster care, children’s mental health, educational, residential treatment, and other services. This broad continuum of care means that children can access services from the least intensive, community-based care to the most intensive, children’s mental health residential treatment programs.
Our community-based services are provided to children and families in homes, schools, and other community settings. They aim to strengthen families and help people achieve mental wellness.

Requirements to become a foster parent
Foster parents receive a maintenance payment to help cover some of the care costs of raising a child. The rate parents receive varies depending on the child's age and their special needs. Foster children also receive a clothing allowance, covering their medical needs.
The Missouri Department of Social Services website shows you the latest rates.
However, these maintenance payments aren't always enough. Everything from school supplies to toys can cut into that budget. Many businesses and organizations are stepping up to help cover the gaps and assist foster families.
Foster Together provides a walk-in shopping service for foster children free of charge. Kids can find new and like-new clothing, toys, car seats, and more.
Foster parents caring for younger children can look to Nurses for Newborns, which provides health assessments, screenings, education, and more support.
Another valuable resource is respite care, which gives foster parents a break when needed. Respite foster care is a temporary service offered by other trained foster families. It's also useful in the event of an emergency situation.

Do not send your kids here!!!
Jan 18, 2023
I was placed in great circle about 6 years ago. At first it was a rocky start and I was promised 60 days which turned into 120 but honestly I couldn’t have asked for a better placement as this was my second one. All staff was very understanding several of them took me aside on a daily basis and talked to me to make sure my head was in the right place Sam,kyree,jasmine,isis, and Lexi we’re definitely my go to people when I was struggling and the counselor I had there helped a lot along with teacher mr.Paul I wouldn’t have been able to graduate without his help. It is a great place to send a child with behavioral or mental health issues

I worked for great circle in 2013 it 13 and it was the most is the most abhorred did situation I have ever seen I feel sorry for anyone who has to send their children there. Then CEO Vincent Hilliard was a deceitful individual. Which actually finally came out years later But the teachers did truly care about these children but I believe their practices were somewhat questionable. And they certainly did not pay their staff nearly enough to deal with these typechildren

That place is not a good place to leave your child. I went there for three years and every day it was chaotic.
