Questioning the training of some teachers to work with young children and possible physical and mental abuse of some children because of lack of training, empathy or being overworked. Some children appear to be handled roughly, some do not ? Staff appear short tempered at times, not a lot of nurturing for some very young children who can’t fend for themselves. Worried.
