New York State suspended Jill's Play Yard's operating license after receiving multiple complaints regarding the care of children at the facility.
In a complaint filed on October 5, Jill's Play Yard was cited for leaving children without competent supervision. A second complaint, filed on October 13, found the daycare in violation for failing to adequately supervise staff responsible for caring for children. No violations were found in the 8 previous inspections earlier this year.
In a social media post over the weekend, the owner of Jill's Play Yard said the daycare would be closing its doors after 11 years in business and thanked families for their trust, support and memories.
