State regulators are recommending that a Richmond day care center lose its license because of the death of a toddler while in its care.

The recommendation released Friday will go to the Virginia Department of Social Services's director of licensing, who will decide whether to revoke the license of Yellow Brick Road Day Care & Learning Center.

Thirteen-month-old Andrew Johnson died of environmental heat exposure July 6 after he was left in one of the day care's vans for at least four hours.

Jeffrey Williams with the Social Services central region office says the agency's investigation found that Yellow Brick's staff weren't properly trained. Policies to make sure children weren't left unattended weren't followed.

Yellow Brick officials weren't immediately available for comment Friday.
