The Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning has revoked the license for Little Blessings Childcare.
DECAL Chief Communications Officer Reg Griffin says the decision was made following allegations of child abuse involving a one-year-old child on August 13. Bainbridge Public Safety said 54-year-old Yvette Thurston, a teacher at the daycare, was arrested.
Little Blessings has the right to appeal but will not be permitted to reopen during the appeal process.
