Detroit Child Care Center Has License Suspended

DETROIT — A Detroit child care center is in trouble with the state of Michigan.

The Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP) said Thursday they have suspended the child care center license of PBA Royal LLC, New Beginnings Child Care and Academy, which is near the Southfield Freeway on the city's west side.

Investigators found multiple violations at the child care center, including failure to provide appropriate care or supervision, failure to cooperate with the investigation and failure to provide accurate and truthful information to the Department.

Officials also issued a notice of intent to revoke the facility's child care center license.

The facility must also tell the parents of children who were in their care that the license has been suspended and that they cannot provide child care.

"It was critical to take emergency action to protect the health, welfare and safety of the children at this child care center," MiLEAP said in a statement.
