Wrong-doings of Local Daycare

To whom it may concern:

Some troubling news has been circulating throughout the Lansdale Play and Learn childcare center that I think the community should be aware of. It has come to my attention that the co-director, Jennifer Quelly, and staff member, Brooke Moats, were in an altercation this past October near a Lansdale bar that involved the assault and robbery of another local man, leading to their arrests. Their criminal records, which I have viewed myself, include a long list of felonies and misdemeanors all stemming from their October arrests. The administrative office of Play and Learn was recently notified, but unfortunately no action was taken. I would also like to inform you that the director has been withholding this information from families and staff since the incident occurred. In addition to the recent incident stated above, Brooke Moats has a background of several other arrests, which seemed to have been overlooked during her hiring process. I’m relaying this information to the public because I believe that it’s morally wrong what this center is doing to its families by withholding this information and sweeping it under the rug. Parents and loved ones should feel safe about sending their children to childcare facilities. Not only hiring but allowing these employees to continue working around children, knowing the severity of their charges, is not only in violation of several laws but disgusting. I’m hoping by sharing this information, the wrong that has been done will be corrected.

Thank you for your time,
A concerned community member
