Buffalo Daycare Loses License Due to Violations…and a 2nd is in Jeopardy

WKBW News is reporting that Divine Innovations on Walden Ave has lost its license to operate in New York State due to violations.  Violations include, according to reports,  children left with no supervision, unsafe areas for kids, and an unwillingness to co-operate with investigators.

The WGRZ news article states that the Daycare Owner's License has been revoked, however later in the article they report that the owner, Nadine Powell, says the Daycare is indeed closed but claims the license has not been revoked, although the actual Violations Report clearly says 'revoked'.

Another Daycare feeling the heat is Cookieland Daycare, on Barthel Street in Buffalo, whose owner is Vivian Barton, according to the news article.

The owner, Vivian Barton said she has learned from her mistakes, according to the news article, admitted to some wrongs, but vowed to do better:

"I apologize for the errors I made," Barton said. "That's all I can do and try to do better and I do try to do better."
