A pre-school where a man was previously charged with outrage of modesty has now fired a teacher in a separate incident involving the rough-handling of children.
The pre-school terminated her employment on Sept 20, and ECDA said the woman will not be allowed to work at other pre-schools. In a statement issued to ST for the latest incident of rough-handling, a spokesman for the pre-school said it is working closely with ECDA on the matter and apologised for the incident.Parents of the affected children were briefed by the pre-school on Sept 21 on what happened to their children, how the incident was spotted, and action that has been taken, he added.Additional measures have since been taken, like counselling for staff members and art therapy for children.
Another parent, who also requested to be anonymous, said that having CCTV cameras in a pre-school centre helps parents build trust.“Having surveillance in the school provides me some comfort at least,” the parent said.
