A teacher at a preschool in Ang Mo Kio was fired immediately after it was discovered that she had physically abused a female student.
Little Seeds Preschool told AsiaOne that an investigation was carried out after the four-year-old boy was found to have suffered abrasions on the back of his neck last Wednesday (December 2).
He has also reported the incident to the Early Childhood Development Agency.
“We deeply regret the incident and have offered our cooperation to the child and his family and will provide all necessary support,” said the preschool.
Last week, the boy’s mother, Lim QiaoHui, took to Facebook to alert other parents of the harsh treatment he suffered at school.
In his post, he shared several photos of his son’s injuries. According to her, the boy underwent a medical examination at the hospital on December 4 and was discharged the next day.
The mother, who was allowed to view CCTV footage of the school, claimed that the abuse had been going on since July.
“I really don’t know how to go through with this matter, but I definitely want the teacher who put him in the hospital to pay for him and learn his lesson,” he wrote.
In another Facebook post, Lim apologized to his son for not realizing that the bruises on his legs and body were not caused by an accident in recent months.
Following the incident, Little Seeds Preschool said: “We have taken steps to reiterate these important aspects and we will continue to take steps to ensure this type of incident does not occur.”
She added that the safety and care of the children in her care are of utmost importance and concern.
Police also confirmed that a report was filed, adding that investigations are ongoing.
