The situation escalated when the preschool sent a letter to parents, revealing a"child mismanagement" incident and announcing the immediate suspension of three teachers to facilitate investigations. “These staff have been issued a warning under the ECDC Regulations and barred from working in the preschool sector. Police investigations are ongoing against the three staff.”
