Chicago · Licensed family home

Ewing-Brown, Joslyn L

Mid-size family home, licensed for up to 8 children.
Shortlist has found no website for it yet.

What these mean, and where they come from

Mid-size means licensed for 8 children, the size at least half of Chicago-area’s 3,345 licensed family homes hold. Small is 2 to 7; larger is 9 to 12.

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

Routine visits: 20 of 21 cited something

Chicago-area family homes: the state cites something at about 4 in 5 routine visits.

From Illinois DCFS’s published reports, last checked September 25, 2026.

Read every record and the state’s reports

State record — Illinois DCFS

Last visit: January 20, 2026
On file: 21 visits since September 2010 — 1 cited nothing
Fixed?: The latest correction deadline was January 30, 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.
