Savage daycare license suspended after infant’s tragic death
A very difficult and heartbreaking situation has unfolded in Savage, Minnesota. An infant died earlier this week at Rocking Horse Ranch Childcare, and in response, state officials have immediately suspended the facility’s license. Authorities are now investigating, and parents whose children attend the daycare have been urged to watch them closely for any unusual symptoms.
According to police, the child died on Monday, though the exact cause of death has not yet been revealed. The infant’s body has been taken to the medical examiner’s office, where an autopsy will be performed. The identity of the child has not been released at this time. What officials have shared, however, is a strong recommendation: families with children enrolled at Rocking Horse Ranch should remain extra alert. If children show signs of confusion, changes in behavior, or any concerning medical issues, parents are being told to seek immediate medical attention.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is assisting local police with the investigation. A news release explained that this step was taken “as a precautionary measure” to ensure the safety of other children. Investigators are working to determine exactly what happened inside the daycare leading up to the tragedy.

In addition to Monday’s incident, it has also come to light that emergency medical services had been called to the same daycare just days earlier, on Friday, for another infant in distress. That alarming detail contributed to the state’s decision to act swiftly. The Minnesota Department of Children, Youth and Families concluded that children at the facility faced an “imminent risk of harm,” which made immediate suspension of the license necessary.
Rocking Horse Ranch Childcare employs more than twenty teaching and support staff, and according to its website, the team exceeds state qualification requirements. Despite that, its operations are now on hold until further notice. The facility has not yet provided public comment regarding the suspension or the investigations underway.
Community members are understandably shaken by the news. For any parent, the idea of dropping a child off at daycare and not bringing them home again is an unthinkable fear. Now, families who rely on this facility are left facing uncertainty, while investigators work to gather answers.
Police are asking anyone with information that may help to reach out to Savage investigators directly. In the meantime, families connected to Rocking Horse Ranch are urged to remain cautious and to prioritize their children’s health and well-being.
It’s a deeply painful reminder of how quickly trust in a care setting can be shaken, and how fragile the responsibility is when it comes to caring for children. The community will be waiting closely for the results of the medical examiner’s report and the findings of the ongoing investigation.
