State Issues Emergency Suspension of Child Care Provider in Pittsburg

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) issued an Emergency Order of Suspension of the childcare provider of the registered family day care home, Big Bird Daycare, operated by Vicki Annette Bledsoe. The suspension occurred Dec. 17.

State law allows the Secretary of KDHE to issue such an order when, in the opinion of the Secretary, the order is necessary to protect children in the home from any potential threat to health or safety.

The order is subject to appeal to the Secretary of Health and Environment.
