BRENTWOOD, NY — A Brentwood daycare employee sexually abused a girl, 10, under his care in 2020, police said.

According to Suffolk County police, Reynaldo Estrada, 62, who worked at the Little Lamb ABC Daycare on Vanderbilt, was arrested at his Vanderbilt Avenue home on Wednesday at 3:02 p.m.

Estrada, an employee and husband of the owner of Little Lamb ABC Daycare, sexually abused a 10-year-old girl at the facility in August and September 2020, police said.

Estrada was scheduled to be arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip on Thursday.

Detectives are asking anyone with information on the case, or who believes their child may be a victim of Estrada, to contact the Special Victims Section at 631-852-6531.
