Following the infant’s death on Monday, the Minnesota Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) made the decision to suspend Rocking Horse Ranch Childcare’s license. This action was taken due to two instances where emergency medical services were required for infants—one occurring last Friday and the other on Monday. The DCYF determined that children at the facility faced an imminent risk of harm.
The Savage Police Department and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension are jointly investigating the death. They are asking that anyone with information that could aid their investigation contact Detective Sergeant Andrew Dahmes at 952-882-2601.
Rocking Horse Ranch Childcare’s website states that its staff exceeds the job qualification requirements set by the state of Minnesota. FOX 9 has reached out to Rocking Horse Ranch for comment, but no statement has been provided yet.
