NextImg:Inside the Bronx day care of death: Here are the first pictures of grim center where 1-year-old died from fentanyl

Here is a first look inside the day care of death.

A chilling series of snaps shot by The Post show the tiny kitchen of the Divino Nino Day Care in Kingsbridge, where a 1-year-old died and at least three other children were sickened after coming into contact with fentanyl, authorities and sources said.

One photo shows an open box of Lucky Charms cereal and other snacks near the sink, while a bag of Lays potato chips sits dangerously on a stove burner.

Several plastic bottles of water are also in the sink.

Bags of popcorn are strewn about near a microwave.

A makeshift half-desk features paperwork, possibly medication, a book, “Detent,e” and flowers in a small vase.

Food in what appears to be take out containers sits atop the fridge.

Here are the first pictures from the Bronx daycare of death, a grim glimpse of the layout where parents mistakenly believed their precious little ones would be safe.

Nicholas Dominici

1-year-old Nicholas Dominici died from exposure to fentanyl.

Another image shows a closet with a folded up stroller at the bottom and what appeared to be an infant’s floor seat sitting on a shelf, jammed in among other items.

The only upbeat snap shows a colorful painting of cars traveling down a road.

The front door says, “Welcome” and “Ready to Lear,” with no room available for the missing “N.”

The owner of the Bronx day care center may have been subletting a room in the tiny facility to a stranger, a source told The Post Saturday.

Fentanyl and kilo presses, a device typically used to combine fentanyl with either cocaine or heroin, were found inside the space used by the day care, officials and sources said.

The shocking revelation emerged as a joint task force comprised of members of the NYPD and the US Drug Enforcement Administration are probing the deadly incident.

Meanwhile, the NYPD was interviewing Divino Nino Day Care owner Grei Mendez at the 52nd Precinct Saturday, and is seeking to talk with the man she apparently rented a room to inside the small Morris Avenue facility, sources said.

Two of the kids were in cardiac arrest when first responders arrived at the facility, with 21-month-old Nicholas Dominici and a 2-year-old boy being given multiple doses of the overdose-reversing drug Narcan, authorities said.

Nicholas later died at Montefiore Hospital.

The two-year-old is in critical condition, sources said Saturday.

The surviving boy’s younger sibling, an 8-month-old girl, was also given a dose of Narcan and is in stable condition.
