The owner's son of Quality Daycare claimed the reason there were no kids when Nick Shirley stopped by in the morning is because they don't open until later in the day.SON: "I have nothing against him himself, but I do have something against the rhetoric. If you're going to be a journalist, just have a moral compass. Like, do what you do correctly. If you catch businesses that are fraud, no one here is with that. We don't support that as a community. I don't support that myself. I was born and raised here. I'm not for fraud. The notion that, hey, a certain batch of somebody got caught, so all of us support it—it's like no. No one in any community, any mishaps that happen, the rest of the community obviously doesn't want that to happen. It's a stain on all of our names. As you guys can see, we don't want that to happen. We don't take part in that. We don't like that. We don't want that in our communities. But just to say, hey, a certain company got caught, so they must all do it? I feel like that's what he's doing. I'm not a fan of that."REPORTER: "2: 2:00 to 10:00 p.m. may not be your typical daycare hours, so can you explain why it is that you operate during these hours?"SON: "The reason for that is we're after-school hours. So most of our clients—not most of our clients, all of our clients—is after-school hours. So schools' earliest dismissal would be 2:15 to 2:30ish, and the latest dismissal would be up to like 4:30ish, 4:40ish. So that's when our kids come to us. We don't have anyone in the morning. We deal with only parents and clients that come to us after school. So that's why ours are 2 to 10 p.m. Once again, I'd like to conclude: The YouTuber that was making the claims—you were here earlier today. I came here at 1 o'clock. You were here. Where are you now? You claim we're closed. You claim we're a fraud. Where are you? Why are you not here right now? It's like, you're trying to put out a certain message about a certain group. I'm not going to make that claim. I don't want to make that claim without me knowing him personally, but that's what it seems like he's doing from his front. Where are you right now? He was here earlier. He was recording us. We had no issue with it. We told him, hey, just get off our property, you can record. Now he's not here."
