- On file
- 3 visits since July 2023 — all of them cited nothing
- Fixed?
- Nothing was cited, so there is nothing to correct.
- Most serious
- Nothing was cited at any visit on file.
Illinois DCFS cites each subsection of a rule separately, so one audit of a filing cabinet can produce ten citations. It publishes the rule’s title and a correction deadline, but no description of what was observed.
Openings, child care subsidies, cost, hours and late pickup, teaching approach, ratios and staff, a typical day, and sick and biting policies aren’t on this page.
