The state has closed a day care facility after a worker allegedly hid crying infants in a storage room during an unannounced inspection, possibly to disguise inadequate staffing, officials said.

Colter's day care has been licensed since 1988 and has the state's highest rating for day care agencies -- three stars. That means it's inspected by state officials with a minimum of three unannounced and two announced visits annually, Johnson said. But the inspection was not the first time the day care center has experienced problems. Ten children were infected last June with E. coli at the same day care, which is about 50 miles northeast of Nashville near the Kentucky state line. Four were sent to the hospital for treatment and later released, Johnson said. The E. coli did not originate at the day care center, Johnson said, but the state cited the day care for not keeping accurate daily attendance records on each child, leaving children unattended outside and exceeding the day care's licensed capacity. |
