When I picked my son up from the daycare he told me that his teacher hit him on his hand and she kicked him on his head. When I talked to the directors they said they talked to the teacher and she said she was just trying to get him to fall asleep. When I asked them to switch my son to a different class because I don’t trust her anymore they said they wouldn’t. They told me if I didn’t want it then I can leave and pay them 2 weeks notice. I felt like it was unfair because they didn’t believe me when I told them my son was getting hurt and they still wanted to keep him with the teacher. when you see a daycare, just because it looks nice and clean it doesn’t mean that the people taking care of your children are.
