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 certificate of registration of Grand Traverse County family day care home provider Dana Lee, 6297 Cherry Blossom, Traverse City, Michigan. This action resulted from a recent investigation of a complaint of the child day care family home.

The June 21, 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 22, 2005, the Summary Suspension Order prohibits Dana Lee from operating a family day care home at 6297 Cherry Blossom, Traverse City, 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. Lee 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.

On June 22, 2005 Ms. Lee agreed to the revocation of her certificate of registration and waived her right to an administrative appeal.

Ms. Lee has held a certificate of registration to operate a family day care home since January 12, 2001. 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."
