Carlisle Barracks Moore Child Development Center
The daycare facility on this army base has yet another scandal that they wish to keep hidden. Earlier this year a child told one of her parents that a teacher had hit her in the face- more specifically across the mouth. When the parent went to the head directors with their concerns about this incident the daycare stated that they would not be launching an investigation until CPS took the initiative to get involved. In an environment where children are meant to learn and teachers are meant to teach, what are the teachers teaching? To resort to violence rather than to respond calmly and resolve problems in a respectful manner? What are children meant to learn? That its okay for an adult that you know and are suppose to feel safe around are allowed to abuse if they step out of line? Are they meant to learn that it’s okay to use forms of violence on others after losing patience? This teacher is still employed at this daycare by the way, where she has faced no repercussions from her actions. If this daycare has no interest in protecting the children that are enrolled then so be it. But this story will not go untold, and it will not get ignored. Some may look at this situation and say “its not that serious” or “I got hit when I was a kid and I survived” these are old mid sets and we are quickly learning about the negative effects it can have later in life on a person.
