Child care facility license denials, revocations and suspensions
Missouri law requires that the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) licenses any individual or organization providing care to more than four children who are not related to the provider. The DHSS Section for Child Care Regulation inspects family child care homes, group child care homes, and child care centers to determine their compliance with the child care licensing rules. Licensing records are open for public inspection. For more information, contact (573) 751-2450.
