Honestly? These day care centers overreact over every single thing.

I would just gently remind your little guy that touching anyone elses underpants is not appropriate to do.

And thats it.

What he did was purely innocent. Hes a 4 year old!

Get this book:

Also start addressing personal space. Get two cheap hoola hoops, put them on your floor, you sit in one and have him sit in the other. Then have a chat about how everyone has a personal space bubble and we shouldn't pop their bubble. Explain the difference between being invited into someone's bubble to give a hug, high five, etc and getting in someone's bubble when they don't want you to. My. DD is like a week or so younger than your son and these two strategies helped her greatly.

This is also another great book you can use to address so social skills and manners:

Thank you! I agree, totally innocent but once they officially document (which they did not) it can open a can of worms. Especially if this little girl goes home and complains etc

Just have a talk with him about expected and unexpected behavior (that's the language my district uses). Touching or letting someone see your underwear is unexpected and should not be done. That's all i would do.
