The decision to close the facility followed other multiple violations that affected the health, safety, or welfare of children which included improper use of a generator that exposed children and staff to carbon monoxide and an inadequate number of staff caring for children, the release stated.
DECAL has a maximum of 21 days to continue its investigation.
Parents impacted by this situation are urged to contact child resources at qualityrated.org or by calling 877-ALL-GA-KIDS. Parents will be assisted in locating other childcare options, which is a free service provided by DECAL.
