–On or about September 10, the permittee, Tyesha Seale, was arrested for alleged multiple crimes including domestic battery, aggravated battery, aggravated assault and possession of drugs.
–Two adults were caring for children and those adults did not have records documenting a negative TB test as required. Also their names and addresses had not been submitted.
–Two infants in the home did not have any records, including immunizations and a medical record as required
–An infant was napping on its stomach, an infant was napping on the floor, and no cribs or playpens were available to nap an infant.

According to state law, the KDHE Secretary can suspend a temporary permit to operate a day care home prior to a hearing when, in the opinion of the Secretary, the suspension is necessary to protect any child in the home from physical or mental abuse, abandonment, or any other substantial threat to health or safety.
Due to facts cited in the Emergency Order of Suspension, KDHE Secretary Susan Mosier determined that immediate suspension of the permittee’s temporary permit is necessary to protect children in the permittee’s care from a substantial threat to their health or safety. It is subject to appeal.
