What happens if a child care provider is accused of hitting a child in His or Her care child and if found not guilty can He or She return working in a child care environment.?

Answer 1

If a child care provider is accused of hitting a child in his or her care, the situation should be investigated. The director of the center should speak with both the child and worker separately. Also the child care worker, should be placed on suspension until the incident is completely investigated. If no other complaints from children or parents, then they should return back to work. The center should still keep an eye open on the worker. If another incident like this has come up again, then fired immediately.
