My kid just turned 3 and goes to Day Care (preschool) near our house. Yesterday while dropping her, I saw a hyperactive kid running around the class. I saw him hit my kid and another one while running. Both started crying and 3 other kids yelled out at the same time "he always hits us".
I told the teacher and the Dir. of the place. The Dir. started to say, he usually calms down after a talk, he has his good and bad days, etc. That evening that kid struck mine with an object on her lips causing a bad bruise.
I called the Dir. and told her that her institution is not capable of handling such kids, the other kids in preschool do not have fast reflexes to handle things on their own and lastly if this kid is coming in only for 2 days a week, there is no way the day care can possibly influence his behavior when the other 5 days he is being reinforced by the other environment he's in.
What are my options, given this is a private Day Care? I'd rather err. On the side of caution.
