Falls, Alicia 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.

Fixed?
Correction was due September 10, 2025. 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.
