Daycare Fraud Claims Hit Massachusetts as Oversight Questions Grow [WATCH]

A former Early Intervention worker in Massachusetts is alleging that fraud involving daycare centers receiving public vouchers is occurring in the state, mirroring similar allegations recently highlighted in other parts of the country.

In a public statement, the former worker said reports about daycare fraud in Minnesota and Ohio prompted them to come forward with firsthand experience from Massachusetts.

“My entire FYP today has been Nick Shirley Somalis and daycare fraud in Minnesota, and now it’s starting to slowly transition to Ohio and similar fraud,” the former worker said.

“And I keep commenting in comment sections, but I’m just gonna make a video now that this similar fraud happens here in Massachusetts.”

The former worker explained that while employed in Early Intervention, they were responsible for providing services to children enrolled in daycare centers that receive public vouchers.

According to the worker, access to those facilities was repeatedly denied, preventing required services from being delivered.

“I used to work for early intervention, and when I had an appointment to service a child who went to a daycare that received vouchers, I was never let in. 100% of the time, never let in,” the former worker said.

“I was either not let in or no one would come to the door.”

The worker said the inability to access the daycare facilities directly affected compensation, as Early Intervention services are overseen by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.

“And then, since I didn’t service that child, I did not get paid for my time, because early intervention is part of the Department of Public Health,” the worker said.

In one specific incident, the former worker said a daycare employee did acknowledge them but claimed the child was not present.

“And there was one time when someone from a daycare that received vouchers did actually come to the door and they told me that the child wasn’t there,” the worker said.

The worker said they later contacted the child’s parent, who disputed the daycare’s claim.

“So then I had to contact the parent, and the parent showed me that they dropped their child off that morning, but I wasn’t let in,” the worker said.

According to the former worker, the repeated denials raised serious concerns about whether daycare centers were falsely reporting enrollment or attendance while continuing to receive public funds. The worker suggested the issue is not isolated to one state.

“So similar fraud happens probably across the country, but I know for a fact from or working for early intervention that it does happen in Massachusetts as well,” the worker said.
