What do I do? I feel like a bad mom

So I have a dilemma. My 4 yr old daughter is in daycare and things were fine until she came home and said she's scared of one of her teachers and she popped her on thr back. However now she's saying she wants to go back to school and be with her friends. I'm innschool and the only break I get to study is when they're in school. Ofc I won't let my child be mistreated... I wanted to find a different school but there will be a weekly fee I'd have to pay that I can't afford atm. I'm looking for work like crazy and getting nothing. I was going to go up to the school and talk to the admin but I just feel they may not do anything. It's just even if I change schools this could still be an issue. What do u think I should do.

You’re not a bad mom, but if a teacher is using physical discipline on your daughter, you need to protect her. Nobody has the right to put hands on your child in anger.

Did she say any more about how it happened? Did the teacher possibly just gently "pop" her on the back like to let her know it was her turn to go do something or another reason that could possibly be an innocent thing. I'm not saying it was and it's probably best to ask about it, but if your daughter said it was because she was angry then for sure I'd be really concerned. I just don't know without more info. But you're definitely not a bad mom for doing whatever you think is best to protect your child. But if she really wants to go back, I would probably let her go. That's tough though.

i understand your dilemma and think you should go to the school to discuss. like above said, it could be an innocent thing not mean how your child perceived it, but of course even if it was in the way the child took it then you would want to bring it to the schools attention, so i think you should go in for a meeting due to concerns from your daughter and then see what they say, they may have cctv etc that they can review too x

U should get to the bottom of it first before anything.

@Christy idk if was a gentle pop or what but she told me she was scared. I don't want to send her back.. I want her to go somewhere else but the same problem could arise. In Aug she'll start actual school. I'm looking for work and I have zero money. I'm In a nursing program and I have to be able to study. I'm already repeating a course and delaying my graduation date bc I wasn't able to study the way I needed to. I'm sitting iut 2 months ( no my family doesn't watch them like that so they're not much help). I'm gonna go up to the school my poor baby said she was scared of that bitch ass teacher.

I still feel overhwlemed

Uh, definitely report her. Maybe work on getting her fired? Why should your daughter have to leave because of mistreatment. The person who’s doing the mistreatment should leave. If she’s doing that to your daughter, she’s doing it to other kids or will.

@Olivia I'm not sending her. I'm taking her out. It's not okay at all. And I am gonna speak to the teacher all of them.

@Denise idk if I can get her fired. I'm sure they'll take up for her. I'm just gonna remove my baby.

Uhg she keeps telling me she wants to be with her friends. I worry about work and id need money for another daycare. Uhgggggggggg

@Christy she said the teacher was being mean and she popped her back.
