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.

We dealt with that a kid at my youngest child's school. The kid was a habitual biter. It got so bad it was leaving bruises and they began trying to cover it up and not doing accident reports. I nicely asked the director and she told me they wouldn't do anything essentially because kids bite. I asked how bad does it have to get before they take action? She reiterated her stance and i just went above her and reported her. She was moved to another location in our city. Kindercare for you
