Helping Hands Child Development Center Danville, VA

At Helping Hands Child Development Center, the safety, well-being, and dignity of every child entrusted to our care remain our highest priorities.

Recently, our center received licensing violations related to the conduct of a former employee. We want our families and community to know that we take all concerns involving children seriously and act promptly when concerns are identified.

One of the incidents was self-reported by our center as soon as it was brought to our attention. Immediate corrective action was taken, including removing the employee from duties pending review and implementing disciplinary measures. During the licensing investigation, additional information regarding separate conduct by the same employee was brought to our attention. Upon learning of these concerns, we took swift action and terminated the employee's employment.

While we cannot discuss specific children, families, or personnel matters, we believe in being transparent about our commitment to accountability. We have cooperated fully with licensing authorities, reviewed our policies and procedures, reinforced staff training expectations, and implemented additional measures to help ensure our standards of care are consistently upheld.

We understand the trust families place in us every day, and we remain committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and positive environment for every child in our care.

Thank you for your continued trust and support.
