What should I do if my child was inappropriately touched at daycare by 2 of the other children and the provider did not tell us?

We found out from our 5 year old daughter that 2 boys at a temp daycare put their fingers in her vagina on 2 of the 3 days she was there. She said the Provider punished the boys by putting them in the corner but the provider told us nothing about the incident. We don't know what we should do. The daycare lady was someone we trusted and used for a couple years. When our daughter was old enough, she moved to a preschool. We usually use her every year around the holidays for a week or so. Now we have lost all trust and don't know what we should do about it.

Report it to the police and get a new provider.

This is very serious. You need to report to law enforcement and DHHS if the provider is a licensed person. You also should report to the child abuse hotline as everyone in Nebraska is a mandatory reporter if you know of a child who has been abused or neglected (and the facts as you describe sound as though the provider was improperly supervising these children).
