For now, the detailed investigation reports into serious complaints must be requested from the state’s child care licensing authority. The state is working to put those reports online, but the project won’t be completed for a few months, Lynch said.

Parents can also request a plain-language summary of the problems found at previous inspections from Anchorage child care licensing authorities.

Yi said she was shocked by the findings.

Despite video monitoring in the classrooms, the on-site manager “had no idea what was going on” and had not witnessed any of the abuse, Yi said.
