I'm so heartbroken by this, I don't know what to do. I live in NY so I'm not sure what protocol is but I was hoping there'd be some sort of positive note to respond to on this. There are only 2 childcare centers in our village (the other is for Pre-K but my DD is too young) so I have no other options aside from paying more and driving to another village's daycare.
I live in the south and this is common even here. When I worked at 2 daycare centers I reported similar things, citing that other staff members had witnessed it to and would be willing to come and discuss it if necessary, but those women were never suspended, fired, etc. They knew where to go to pinch/hand spank where the cameras wouldn't see them and no one did anything. It still shocks me to think about.
