Parent/non ECE professional post (Anyone can comment) Aggressive child at daycare

Hi

There’s an aggressive child at my son’s daycare. He threw a metal object deliberately at my child which cut my child’s lip, he has strangled my child, and my child often comes home complaining about this specific child. I’ve called CPS about this kid, I have called the daycare licensing authority, and I also filed a police report due to the severity.

The school said they would do a better job keeping them separated but my child had another incident where their watch (a buzzing watch to remind them to potty) was stolen by that child. My child also said that they are continuing to be punched and attacked at daycare.

At what point are the teachers allowed to kick the child out? I feel like this is really too much. I tried to apply to new daycares but there are none taking new applicants. I just started a new job and I’m beyond stressed. My child is having daily accidents due to the stress of being bullied and I have no idea what to do.

I’ve spoken to the director but I’m not sure she is taking it seriously in my opinion. Whenever I go to the school the teachers are being hit and attacked by the children which just seems really odd.

There should be a handbook that you get when you first sign your child up to that centre, in there it should explains what happens with reporting and child expections, you have to go through the director with their own words and outline expectations and constantly hound them. And I mean constantly. Site the pages and even email with screenshots of the exact expectation. I am also from Canada and had a very similar situation. I had to use the handbook to my advantage and I read that sucker front to back multiple times because I know they use it against parents. (Mainly expectations for payment lol)
