Recinos, Sandra L
A family home in Berwyn, licensed for up to 8 children. The state cited something at 14 of 16 routine visits (Chicago-area family homes: about 4 in 5). Shortlist has found no website for it yet.
Mid-size home. 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.

- 16 visits since April 2011 — 2 cited nothing
- Fixed?
- The latest correction deadline was August 24, 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.
