I bring this up because until a few years ago, I lived a couple miles from this place.

I can guarantee that because of the area and other childcare options available, this place's parents were 100 percent for Trump.

Roughly handling a child, striking a child, and exercise as punishment are forbidden actions.

On March 3, 2026, Staff #1 made Child #1, 3 years of age, jump up and down with their hands in the air for approximately two minutes. Staff #1 stated that since the child had so much energy to misbehave in the classroom the child could do some jumping jacks in the office. Child #1 was crying, rubbing their stomach, pulling at their shirt and pants, coughing at times, and breathing heavily while crying.

During a period of approximately 30 minutes, Staff #1: squeezed Child #1's face, forcefully pushed the child's arms down by the child's side holding them in place, struck the child's nose, grabbed the child's face under the chin and pushed the child's face in a direction to look at a computer monitor. Child #1 was crying for multiple periods of time, continuously, up to and more than two minutes while Staff #1 continued to scold and roughly handle the child. Staff #1 wiped the child's nose forcefully, covering the child's entire face with the tissue and pushed the child's head back.
