Beach Park · Licensed family home
Martinez, Sara
- 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

- Last visit
- March 6, 2025
- On file
- 3 visits since April 2022 — all of them cited nothing
- Fixed?
- Nothing was cited, so there is nothing to correct.
- Most serious
- Nothing was cited at any visit on file.
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.
How the comparison is built
Routine visits: across Chicago-area family homes, the state cites something at about 4 in 5 routine visits (16,457 visits).
