I recently got hired at a preschool early center and the main teacher/ supervisor I’ve caught on is a bit cold with the students (ages 3-5). Now I understand kids these age can be hard with not listening and throwing tantrums so I can kinda understand the stern voice. But on Friday a child wasn’t listening to get off the slide after multiple times asked so she took it apon herself to grab the child’s arm and DRAG him off the slide and off the play ground. The child was crying in distress and would escape her and she would go back and drag him by the arm.

I’ve never worked in child development. My first thought was to be angry and also in disbelief. I myself as a parent would NOT be ok with this. I need advice. Is this or was this ok? She literally DRAGGED him.

I feel like I need to talk to the director. I’m not sure what their protocols are for Children who don’t listen. But dragging wouldn’t be the solution?? Right?!!??
