DHHS investigating alleged violations at Moore Center ELLSWORTH — The Department of Health and Human Services is investigating alleged violations at the Down East Family YMCA’s Moore Early Learning Center. The complaint was filed last month by a former teacher and her husband. Allissia West of Dedham worked as a child-care teacher in the infant room while her 2½-year-old son Ezra attended the toddler program from June 1, 2020, to Jan. 29, 2021. On Jan. 29, she resigned and pulled Ezra out of the program. In mid-February, West reported alleged COVID-19 protocol violations through the state’s online reporting portal. Her husband, Shane West, filed a DHHS complaint, alleging 16 additional violations unrelated to COVID-19 protocol on Feb. 23.
