Dodgeville Daycare To Shut Down

A daycare in Dodgeville is shutting down amid controversy and staffing concerns. According to an email sent to families from Father Bill Van Wagner, St. Joseph’s Church Daycare in Dodgeville will close at the end of the day on Friday. At the beginning of May, the Dodgeville Police Department confirmed that there is an investigation into the daycare for neglect and abuse allegations. A report says that investigation is now complete and with the District Attorney to decide if any criminal charges will be filed. Father Van Wagner says since then, workers have sought employment elsewhere.
