EMPORIA, Kan. (AP) – A daycare center in Emporia has been closed
after police found marijuana and cocaine there.
The Emporia Gazette reports that the Kansas Department of Health
and Environment closed the Love, Laughter and Learning daycare this
month. The closing was announced Monday.
The department says the drugs were found in the basement, where
the children went during storms.
The health department says investigators who visited the home
April 13 found daycare operator Tonya D. Rangel asleep with the
front door open and four young children unsupervised.
A health department document says Rangel’s boyfriend listed the
residence as his home. The state had told Rangel that her boyfriend
was prohibited from living at the home or being present during
daycare hours.
