407200RSupervisionCorrected

Children were NOT properly supervised

This citation is recorded when an inspector documents children without the level of adult supervision Illinois requires. Supervision rules exist because a lapse is the point at which a child can be harmed before staff can respond, which is why DCFS treats this category as high-risk.

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.
