Chicago · Licensed family home

Arribasplata, Carmen L

What these mean, and where they come from

Larger means licensed for 9 to 12 children, among Chicago-area’s 3,345 licensed family homes by state-licensed capacity. Small is 2 to 7; mid-size is 8.

Shortlist doesn’t have these yet: cost, hours and late pickup, teaching approach, ratios and staff, a typical day, sick and biting policies.

What the state has found

Fixed?
The latest correction deadline was June 18, 2021. Illinois DCFS does not publish whether it was made.
Most serious
Illinois DCFS does not publish a severity level for a citation, so there is no most-serious to name.

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.
