407270ADisciplineCorrected

DISCIPLINE — rules on treatment of children not followed

This citation family covers discipline violations. Severity depends on the sub-code — some cover prohibited physical punishment. Check the full citation code and the status shown with this finding.

407350CHealth & sanitationCorrected

Soft bedding or prohibited objects in infant sleep area (suffocation/SIDS risk)

Illinois requires infants to sleep on a firm, flat, bare surface. This citation is recorded when soft objects — pillows, bumper pads, stuffed animals, or loose blankets — are documented in an infant's sleep space. The rule exists because such objects raise the risk of suffocation and SIDS.

2026-01-22
407350B1AHealth & sanitationCorrected

UNSAFE infant sleep position — SIDS risk (back-to-sleep required)

Illinois requires infants be placed on their back to sleep, on a firm, flat surface with no loose bedding. This citation is recorded when an inspector documents an infant positioned face-down or on their side, a position associated with a significantly higher risk of SIDS.

407110Background checksIn compliance

Background check NOT completed or documented for personnel (or probationary employee left unsupervised with children)

This citation applies when required background-check documentation is missing or incomplete for personnel, or when a probationary employee is documented unsupervised with children. DCFS classifies background-check compliance as a critical safety standard, which is why this category is treated as high-risk.

2026-01-22
CCASEC46IIBackground checksSubstantiated (plan issued)

Staff member with disqualifying criminal record working with children (Health Care Worker Background Check Act §25-II)

This citation category applies under Illinois' Health Care Worker Background Check Act when a background check identifies a Category II record — offenses such as certain drug felonies, robbery, or aggravated assault. These are presumptively disqualifying, though DCFS may grant a formal waiver under specific conditions. Check the status shown with this finding: these are commonly recorded once screening has surfaced the record and the facility has responded.

How we rate this daycareIllinois DCFS records

DCFS doesn't grade violations, so we classify each citation by the rule it cites: rules tied to immediate child safety (supervision, background checks, discipline, and the higher-risk building and health rules) are red; administrative rules (ratios, training, paperwork) are yellow. Classification is per citation, so two findings in the same category can differ.

🔴 Serious concerns — any of:

  • A child-safety (red) violation is still unresolved — past its correction deadline, or cited again as a repeat
  • DCFS issued a Protective Plan — a formal finding of an active risk to a child
  • 2 or more violations are past their correction deadline

🟡 Watch carefully — any of:

  • A child-safety (red) violation was corrected or is being corrected
  • 3 or more administrative (yellow) violations
  • 1 violation is past its correction deadline
  • An active corrective plan — DCFS formally required a fix

🟢 Clean

Actively licensed, with no violations (or only minor, corrected ones) in your lookback window.
