A Green Bay child care center will permanently close after the recent revocation of its license.
Green Bay Academy’s license was revoked Feb. 1 for multiple violations, including an employee accused of selling fentanyl on the center’s premises and having the drugs inside the center, according to Wisconsin’s Department of Children and Families Child Care Finder website.
Tatiana Quinones, the 21-year-old employee accused of selling 50 fentanyl pills for another person in the center’s parking lot, is facing charges in Brown County Circuit Court.
Gina Paige, DCF communications director, explained that in most circumstances, a child care provider has 10 days to submit an appeal after their license is revoked. They can continue to operate during this process with some stipulations: They cannot accept state child care subsidies or enroll new children.
Shortly after the state revoked its license, married owners Gerdia Lemoine and Angel Soto decided not to file an appeal and to close the center.
