"The Eva Crèche Day Care Center in Prospect Lefferts Gardens closed earlier this year after an employee recorded videos showing one worker grabbing and tossing a toddler and children napping and eating on the floor of a private residence that parents had not given permission for their kids to visit."
"Early education experts said these incidents - while outliers - underscore a broader challenge facing the city's child care expansion plan. New York City's 10,000 providers are overseen by a patchwork of state and city agencies, creating inequities across the system in terms of pay, training and quality of care."
A Brooklyn day care owner, previously stripped of her license, opened Eva Crèche Day Care Center, which was later closed amid child abuse allegations. Videos showed inappropriate treatment of children, including a worker tossing a toddler. The owner had a prior license revocation for failing inspections and overstaffing. Recent incidents at local day cares highlight challenges in New York City's child care system, which is managed by various agencies, leading to inconsistencies in care quality and safety. Parents expressed frustration over agency failures to protect their children.
