Bronx daycare closes up shop after sexual abuse allegations against former worker

There was hell to pay inside My Precious Little Angels Daycare.

The doors were shuttered Friday at the family-owned Bronx childcare facility after a former employee’s arrest last week for allegedly sexually abusing two young girls over a five-year stretch.

Jamie Sanchez, 30, was extradited from Florida and arraigned Dec. 2 for sexually abusing the children, one between age of 2 and 5 and the other between 8 and 10 when molested, the Bronx district attorney charged.

“No child should be subjected to sexual abuse, especially in a place where they should have been safe,” said District Attorney Darcel Clark. “This defendant allegedly used his family’s daycare facility to get access to children and prey on them in unfathomable ways.”

Sanchez, due back in court Feb. 28, was a relative of the family running the daycare, authorities said.

The parents of the victims separately reported the alleged multiple assaults to the NYPD in 2022, spotlighting the hulking 220-pound suspect. The defendant was charged with sexual conduct against a child and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child.

The daycare confirmed to a Daily News reporter that it was still open for business on the day when Sanchez, of Bradenton, Fla., appeared for arraignment in Bronx Supreme Court.

According to the city Health Department, the center was previously cited for violations including failure to run background checks on its employees and lack of worker supervision. . Both issues were deemed corrected in subsequent inspections this year.

Solomon Syed, spokesman for the state office of Children and Family Services, said the agency was “deeply troubled” by the allegations but declined to comment on the active law enforcement probe.
