Fixed?
The latest correction deadline was July 17, 2026. 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.

Details

Bright Horizons is a public company. Its annual report to the SEC for 2025 (Form 10-K, filed February 2026) lists its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol BFAM. sec.gov

Large means the biggest quarter of Chicago-area’s 1,948 licensed centers by state-licensed capacity: 119 to 487 children. Small is 8 to 48; medium is 49 to 118.

The ages on the license are what the state licenses it to care for, which can be wider than the ages it takes.
