Parents should have been notified immediately. ANY fall that leaves a mark on one of 'my' children gets an immediate notification via text and/or brightwheel. No 'pick up surprises' here. (bumps, scrapes, etc)

It looks like a fairly moderate injury, but enough that I would have made an immediate phone call to the parents and asked them if they would like to get the child seen by a medical professional.

Yes, the center is liable for medical bills. Accidental or negligence debate aside, the child was in their care.

I feel that the mother probably over reacted with the civil suit. Perhaps the center was completely refusing to pay medical bills, or required her to pay two weeks notice, or something else to prompt the reason for financial backlash.

Also- fall FROM a chair? ONTO a chair? what on earth did the child hit his face on?
