How about, you investigate? Of course a daycare center should be
concerned about child molestation. So it behooves you as daycare
operator to get the facts, rather than just an allegation. An unproven
allegation - which may well have come about as the result of a nasty
divorce - shouldn't be the basis for any decision.
Then you decide based on what you found out. For instance, if it turns
out that his name was Genarlow Wilson, and he was arrested for, as a
teenager, having consensual sex with his teenage girlfriend, you
continue employing him.

Hold a company meeting reminding all employees that theft from
customers is a serious offense. Possibly also an individual private
meeting with that employee.

Check his driving record. That's the only legal document you should
rely on. I think it might also be reasonable to give him a daily
breathalyzer test for the two months or so until the DUI worked its
way through the courts.
