The Michigan Department of Human Services (DHS), Office of Children and Adult Licensing issued an order of summary suspension and notice of intent to revoke the license of Jackson County family day care home provider Keri Noppe, 5946 Riverside, Jackson, Michigan. This action resulted from a recent investigation of a complaint of the child day care family home.

The June 9, 2005, complaint investigation found violations of the Child Care Organizations Act and/or day care family home promulgated rules requiring "emergency action" under the Michigan Administrative Procedures Act, MCL 24.292(2).

Effective 6:00 p.m., June 14, 2005, the Summary Suspension Order prohibits Keri Noppe from operating a family day care home at 5946 Riverside, Jackson, Michigan 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. Noppe 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 day care.

Ms. Noppe has held a certificate of registration to operate a family day care home since June 8, 2004. The certificate of registration was for six children.

Michigan law defines a day 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."
