TOPEKA – The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has issued an Emergency Order of Suspension to Totsy Turtles Daycare, owned by Amber Simmons at 129 S Railroad in the Cloud County community of Clyde. The day care license expired on Monday.
The last survey the state did at the facility was in 2019. The state didn't do a survey in 2020 due to COVID.
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.
Compliance history on this day care facility can be found by searching the Child Care and Early Education Portal for license No. 72983 at http://www.kdheks.gov/bcclr/capp.htm.
