HAWTHORNE, Westchester County (WABC) -- A Westchester County day care facility had to be closed after the building was vandalized over the weekend.
Mount Pleasant police say they responded to a report of a burglary at the Little Years Day Care and Learning Center on Skyline Drive in Hawthorne just before noon Sunday.

Once inside, the perpetrator or perpetrators did extensive damage to the interior of the building.
Officials said every room had some damage, including bathrooms and offices.
Much of the office equipment was also destroyed.
