CCASEC7ABackground checksSubstantiated (plan issued)

Staff member working WITHOUT a completed background check (Child Care Act §7(a))

Illinois law (Child Care Act §7(a)) requires daycare employees to pass a criminal history check before working with children. This citation is recorded when that screening is incomplete or not documented for someone in the facility's personnel records. DCFS typically pairs it with a corrective plan requiring the screening be completed.

407200RSupervisionSubstantiated (plan issued)

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.

2024-04-26

DCFS has not recorded a verified correction. The facility may have fixed this independently — ask for the inspector sign-off.

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.
