A Calgary daycare was temporarily shut down after health officials discovered mouse droppings and cockroaches inside.
Sun Valley Kids Academy on 2 Street S.W. was ordered closed after it discovered a number of live and dead roaches in the kitchen, the fridge and under the sink.
Mouse droppings were spotted in different locations including on a carpet next to the play kitchen, near a diaper cabinet and near children’s baskets in the kindergarten room.
“Mouse droppings were in contact with children’s toys and personal items, including bite marks and droppings observed on foam toys in the baby room,” the report said.
There was also no hand soap at the kitchen handwashing sink, the probe thermometer was broken and there was no thermometer in the baby room refrigerator, among other violations.
The owner has been ordered to hire a pest control operator, and to fulfill a number of other obligations before it will be permitted to reopen.
There’s no word on whether the facility will re-open Monday.
