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 daycare after a former employee’s arrest last week for 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, with one of the victims between the ages of 2 and 5 and the other between the ages of 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 DA 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, officials said.

The parents of the two victims separately reported the alleged multiple assaults to the NYPD in 2022, setting the legal wheels in motion against 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 operation confirmed to a Daily News reporter that they were still open for business on the day when Sanchez, of Bradenton, Fla., appeared for arraignment in Bronx Supreme Court.

According to the NYC Health Department, the operation was previously cited for violations including failure to run background checks on its employees and supervision of its workers — with both issues deemed corrected in subsequent inspections this year.

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