The Early Childhood Development Agency has revoked the licence of a pre-school in Seletar Hills Estate after concluding its investigation into child mismanagement incidents that first came to light in February 2024.
ECDA said the three teachers involved were suspended from Feb 26, 2024, and subsequently dismissed. They are also barred from working in the pre-school sector.The regulatory agency added that the pre-school’s management had not enforced its standard operating procedures on child management, and did not provide adequate guidance and support to the teachers.Due to its “systemic lapses”, the pre-school “had failed to safeguard the well-being of the children under its care”, said ECDA.
In February 2024, The Straits Times spoke to two affected parents, who said their children had been hit, pinched, locked in a dark room and screamed at by their teachers on more than one occasion.
