The Michigan Department of Human Services' Office of Children and Adult Licensing (OCAL) issued an order of summary suspension and notice of intent to revoke the license of Genesee County group day care home provider Davonn Jones, 6412 Garden Drive, Mt. Morris, Michigan. This action resulted from a recent investigation of a complaint of the child day care group home.

The August 23, 2006, complaint investigation found violations of the Child Care Organizations Act and administrative rules regarding the child care home family, supervision, and licensee responsibilities. OCAL took emergency action to protect the health, welfare, and safety of children.

Effective 6:00 p.m., August 24, 2006, the Summary Suspension Order prohibits Davonn Jones from operating a group day care home at 6412 Garden Drive, Mt. Morris, 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. Jones to inform all of the parents of children in her care that her license has been suspended and that she can no longer provide day care.

Ms. Jones has held a license to operate a group day care home since June 12, 1998. The license was for 12 children.

Michigan law defines a group day care home as a private home in which more than six but not more than 12 minor children are given 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. Group day care home includes a home that gives care to an unrelated minor child for more than four weeks during a calendar year.
