In day care centers across the nation, parents rely on child care workers to provide a safe and nurturing educational environment for children. For most children, the day is filled with activities, classes, and all around excellent care. However, at some facilities, children are unfortunately the victim of abuse, neglect, and molestation. Some child care workers just lack the training, experience, common sense, and patience to properly supervise children. The local and state day care regulations should be followed. Beyond the rules and regulation, common sense can go a long way in the proper care of infants, toddlers, and young children.In most States, corporal punishment is outlawed or banned in day care centers. Some day care workers still implement corporal punishment measures to supervise and / or punish children under their care. Corporal punishment is typically refers to some form of physical punishment, assault, or restraint of a child. It should be noted that many religious based day care centers are exempt from local and state day care regulations. As such, corporal punishment tends to be utilized on a regular basis in some exempt facilities. It should also be noted that if a child is injured as a result of corporal punishment to the point the marks are left or medical care is required – there can still be action taken against the day care center even if the day care center is exempt from the applicable child care rules and regulations.
