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 license of Wayne County day care center licensee W.I.N.N.E.R.S.' L.L.P., 22395 Eureka Road, Taylor, Michigan. This action resulted from a recent investigation of a complaint of the day care center.

The March 6, 2007 complaint investigation found violations of the Child Care Organizations Act and administrative rules regarding maintenance of premises and licensee requirements. OCAL took emergency action to protect the health, welfare, and safety of children.

Effective 6:00 p.m., March 7, 2007, the Summary Suspension Order prohibits W.I.N.N.E.R.S.' L.L.P. from operating a day care center at 22395 Eureka Road, Taylor, 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. Cheryl Collins, the licensee designee, to inform all of the parents of children in her care that the license has been suspended and that the center can no longer provide day care.

W.I.N.N.E.R.S.' L.L.P. has held a license to operate a day care center since March 21, 2003. The license was for 60 children.

Child care center or day care center includes a facility that provides care for not less than 2 consecutive weeks, regardless of the number of hours of care per day..."
