NEW BERLIN, Wisconsin — A New Berlin daycare where a child died on Tuesday, March 26, has been ordered to shut down.
According to a letter from the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families, the daycare has been ordered to cease operations for operating a daycare without a license.
A press release from the New Berlin Police Department (NBPD) states that both the NBPD and the New Berlin Fire Department responded to an emergency medical call at a home near W. Cleveland Ave & S. 130th St., for a 4-month-old male infant who was found unconscious and not breathing.
The infant was transported to Children's Wisconsin Hospital, where he was pronounced dead despite multiple attempts at life-saving measures.
NBPD reports that the daycare center functioned as an in-home daycare business.
As the daycare center lacked a license, only three children were permitted to be in its care, but investigators found that seven were present.
To confirm a childcare provider’s license you can check out a full directory on the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families’ website by county.
