DAYTON — Dayton Public Schools has closed the nursery and pre-kindergarten center at Longfellow Alternative Center because of bed bugs.

A nursery worker noticed the small bugs Wednesday, spokeswoman Jill Moberly said. The school called the parents of the nursery and pre-K program Wednesday and told them to keep their children home Thursday and Friday while the area was fumigated and cleaned.

The nursery and pre-K wing of the school will reopen Monday.

School officials also sent letters to all 187 students and children who attend Longfellow notifying them of the situation, Moberly said.

Dayton Public Schools operates the nursery and pre-K portion of the school in conjunction with the Miami Valley Child Development Center.
