NOVEMBER 21, 2001 - The Michigan Department of Consumer & Industry Services (CIS), Bureau of Regulatory Services has issued an order of summary suspension and notice of intent to revoke action to Ionia County family day care home provider Stacy May, 263 East Riverside, Ionia, Michigan.  Stacy May has been ordered to immediately cease providing care to children effective 6:00 P.M. on Tuesday, November 20, 2001.  These actions are the result of a recent complaint investigation of the family day care home.

Under Michigan statute, a Family Day Care Home is defined 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.  Family day care includes a home that gives care to an unrelated minor child for more than 4 weeks during the calendar year.”

The November 20, 2001 findings of the complaint investigation found that:

·        A young child in her care sustained physical injuries

Effective 6:00 P.M., November 20, 2001 the Summary Suspension Order requires Stacy May not to operate a Family Day Care Home at 263 East Riverside, Ionia, Michigan or at any other address or location.  Children are not to be received for care after that date or time.  The order also requires Stacy May to inform all of the parents or guardians of children in care that her certificate of registration has been suspended and that she can no longer provide child care.

An Administrative Hearing regarding the Department’s suspension and revocation action will be scheduled.

Stacy May has held a certificate of registration to operate a Family Day Care Home since October 24, 1995.  The certificate of registration was for 6 children.
