The Kansas Department of Health and Environment issued an Emergency Order of Suspension to Bright Beginnings, located at 305 South Main in Newton.
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 KDHE said it had received information regarding injuries that a child had sustained while at the facility on or around October 29th. Initial information indicated that the injuries were likely the result of abuse.
