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 certificate of registration of Saginaw County family day care home provider Gina Danielson, 5481 Brockway Road, Saginaw, Michigan. This action resulted from a recent investigation of a complaint of the child day care family home.

The August 25, 2006, complaint investigation found violations of the Child Care Organizations Act and administrative rules regarding supervision and sleeping equipment. OCAL took emergency action to protect the health, welfare, and safety of children.

Effective 6:00 p.m., August 28, 2006, the Summary Suspension Order prohibits Gina Danielson from operating a family day care home at 5481 Brockway, Saginaw, 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. Danielson 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. Danielson has held a certificate of registration to operate a family day care home since August 28, 2003. 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."
