Officials continue to investigate a Montgomery County day care center that was shut down after the death of a baby girl.
On Jan. 5, a 5-month-old baby died at the Wyndmoor Learning Center on East Willow Grove Road in Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania. Officials have not yet identified the girl or released an official cause of death.
On Jan. 7, state officials shut the learning center down citing several health and safety violations.
According to an emergency order, workers at the day care didn’t have proper training and kids at the school were left unattended in cribs and high chairs.
An expert in day care facilities told NBC10 he was frustrated the alleged infractions weren’t caught earlier since the day care industry is heavily regulated. He also admitted however that centers are inspected once a year and those inspections are announced. It’s not until a problem is actually reported that the state becomes involved and conducts surprise inspections.
The investigations on the girl’s death as well as the day care are ongoing.
