State Closes Northampton County Childcare in Nazareth

Both the Express-Times (read it here) and Morning Call (read it here) report that the Northampton County Childcare in Nazareth on Belvidere Street was closed by the State.

According to the reports, "the violations "constitute gross incompetence, negligence and misconduct in operating a facility and pose an immediate and serious danger to the life or health of the children in care."

The Express-Times further reports, "Gayle Sarmir, listed as the director/president of Northampton County Childcare, said her attorney advised her not to comment on the public welfare report. She said she will file an appeal before a deadline expires Monday. She said she has owned the center for 11 years."
