MLICCI Submits Public Input to MDHS on the CCPP Policy Manual

Oct 21, 2025
1 min read

The Child Care Payment Program Manual is undergoing review as providers and families struggle to meet child care needs due to inadequate funding. MLICCI hosted a Child Care Leadership Team (CCLT) to review the manual, propose suggested changes, and highlight additional recommendations based on survey input from providers. CCLT members were encouraged to sign-up to participate in the MDHS Hearing and submit written or verbal comments.


The Division of Early Childhood Care & Development (DECCD) will host the virtual public hearing on Wednesday, October 22 at 1:00 PM to receive feedback on the CCPP Policy Manual updates. To sign-up and review both the clean and marked-up version of the draft manual, click here: https://www.mdhs.ms.gov/post/child-care-payment-program-manual-public-hearing/
