An inspection report dated Feb. 28 found numerous deficiencies, including evidence of inadequate training and the fact that two educators did not have valid first aid certificates.
Inspectors also found that parts of the facility were dirty and in poor repair, and there was no documentation of learning for certain children.
The report also made note of rodent droppings in the walls.
The department said the business on Golden Grove Road failed to comply with several orders.
