However, a neighbor said earlier that afternoon she could hear sounds of a newborn in distress.
"I was in the restroom and I heard a baby crying," the woman said. "Usually you cannot hear a baby crying inside the room, inside the house. I guess the baby was on the driveway because I could hear the baby from the window."
Authorities said Yoyo Daycare had been inspected three times in the last three years. Those inspections turned up only minor violations.
