The Michigan Department of Human Services, Bureau of Children and Adult Licensing, issued an order of summary suspension and notice of intent to revoke the certificate of registration of Gogebic County family child care home provider Tammy Edyvean, #DF270287248, 612 East Oak St., Ironwood, Mich. This action resulted from a recent investigation of a complaint of the child care family home.

The April 29, 2008, complaint investigation found violations of the Child Care Organizations Act and administrative rules regarding infant supervision, bedding and sleeping equipment, and caregiver responsibilities. BCAL took emergency action to protect the health, welfare, and safety of children.

Effective 6 p.m., April 30, 2008, the summary suspension order prohibits Tammy Edyvean from operating a family child care home at 612 East Oak St., Ironwood, Mich., or at any other address or location. Accordingly, she may not accept children for care after that date and time. The order also requires Ms. Edyvean to inform all of the parents of children in her care that her certificate of registration has been suspended and that she can no longer provide child care.

Ms. Edyvean has held a certificate of registration to operate a child care home since Feb. 8, 2007. The certificate of registration was for six children.

Michigan law defines a child care family home "as a private home in which 1 but fewer than 7 minor children are received for care and supervision for periods of less than 24 hours a day, unattended by a parent or legal guardian, except children related to an adult member of the family by blood, marriage, or adoption."
