The USDA, the Illinois State Board of Education, or Day Care Resouces could make an unannounced monitoring visit at ANY time!

Be ready for your next visit from DCR, ISBE and/or USDA monitor(s). Make sure:

• your records are up-to-date,
• all children are enrolled,
• to notify DCR if you are serving a meal/snack off site (ex. field trip),
• to ask for ID for any unfamiliar monitors. Click on "view" for a list of ISBE monitors.

Any providers who sent emails to Day Care Resources from Friday 8/11/23 at 4 pm through Monday 8/14/23 at 9:45 am should RE-SEND those emails. Our email service was temporarily turned off as a precaution during this time. If you sent emails over the weekend, please send them again. 

One of DCR’s inactive accounts was spoofed on Friday 8/11/23 around noon. If you received an email from kareng@dcrhome.org, please delete it. Upon investigation, our IT department found the email did NOT contain any malicious code or content.  

As always, please do NOT open any emails that look suspicious and/or click on any unsolicited links.
