Fixed?
The latest correction deadline was August 21, 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.

From KinderCare's quarterly report to the SEC, filed August 13, 2026. sec.gov

Medium means the middle half of Chicago-area’s 1,948 licensed centers by state-licensed capacity: 49 to 118 children. Small is 8 to 48; large is 119 to 487.

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