The Waukesha Police Department is conducting a criminal investigation of an allegation of child abuse at an area child care center.

The Lawrence School on Saylesville Road in Waukesha is closed and, in an emailed news release, Waukesha Police Capt. Dan Baumann said police are investigating the allegation.

Police are at the facility, reuniting parents with their children, Baumann said. He noted that all the children are safe, but that the reunification process is taking longer than expected because of the young age of the children there, mostly infants and toddlers.

An officer at the scene shortly before 1 p.m. said police have been at the facility for about four hours. Parents leaving the facility with their children have not wanted to speak with reporters.

“We want to ensure that we reunite the children with the correct family member, this I know we all agree takes time and we want it to take as much time as we can to get it right,” Baumann said in the news release.
