(KLZA)--A Falls City day care facility was ordered shut down by state health officials Friday.
According to the Omaha World Herald, an emergency shutdown of the Little Bits Daycare owned and operated by Michelle Wilcox was ordered after an inspector found rodent droppings and trash throughout the home.
The order bars Wilcox from caring for any children other than her own until she has corrected the problems.
A state child care inspector made an unannounced visit last Thursday, prompted by a complaint received by the state.
A report indicates rodents droppings were found throughout the home, including on an infant’s eating surface and behind the chairs in the same room were an infant had been placed on a blanket on the floor.
In addition, the inspector discovered dirty dishes in the sink and on the countertops, along with a crock-pot containing food from the previous day.
Trash was also discovered on the floor in multiple rooms as well as in a fenced outdoor play area.
