ALLENDALE, Mich. (WOOD) — An Allendale Township day care center’s license has been suspended by the state of Michigan.
Rainbow Child Care Center, located on Edgewater Drive, will be placed on summary suspension as off 6:30 p.m. Friday, a Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs spokesperson said. A summary suspension is a temporary emergency order issued when the public health, safety or welfare requires emergency action.
The day care facility is under investigation by Ottawa County and state authorities after allegations that a worker may have assaulted three children.
The investigation was started when a 3-month-old boy had trouble breathing at the center. The boy was taken to the hospital, treated and released. Police said it’s not suspected the child was a victim of abuse.
During the investigation, authorities became aware of allegations that a 22-year-old female employee at the day care may have assaulted three children under the age of 1.
