Last July, families at a Highlands Ranch child care center received startling news: The center was temporarily closing following a visit from the county health department.
The center’s owners failed to submit required construction plans to the Douglas County health department and get construction permits from the county’s building division.
A state child care licensing inspector also found several safety violations related to the construction: Emergency exits were blocked by tools and debris, and paint and construction materials were accessible to children.
