Rocking Horse Ranch Childcare employs 22 teaching and support staff, according to its website. Staff “exceed their job qualification requirements” that are set by the state of Minnesota.
The Minnesota Department of Children, Youth and Families suspended the license immediately for Rocking Horse Ranch Childcare after two instances of emergency medical services needed for infants, one last Friday and another on Monday. One of the children died. The suspension was issued based on the determination that children at the facility are at imminent risk of harm.
