Complaints About Child Care Facilities
Complaints against child care facilities are handled jointly by MSDH and the Mississippi Department of Human Services (MDHS). Unless ordered by a court, the identity of the individual who reported the complaint shall not be disclosed outside of MSDH and/or MDHS investigative staff.
Learn more about filing a complaint and how to follow up on the status of a complaint at the MSDH website.
The Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) provides a Child Care Facility Complaint Hotline for parents to report complaints: 1-866-489-8734
The Child Care Facility Complaint Hotline is answered during regular business days. At night and on weekends or holidays, the complainant may leave a concern and callback information via the voice-message service. On the next working day, MSDH staff retrieve all hotline voice messages and record complainant information. An MSDH official will return a call to the complainant for additional details if necessary.
