Daycare Injury Lawyer Comments on Safety Failures at Manhattan Daycare

A Disturbing Pattern of Safety Issues at the Same Daycare

CBS New York also revisited prior findings from its investigation earlier this year, when three former employees were arrested following allegations of physical mistreatment of children. Those allegations included covering a child’s mouth with tape, dragging a child by the hair, hitting children with metal water bottles, and spraying a child in the face with a mixture of soap and bleach.

While those former employees have pleaded not guilty, the repeated nature of safety incidents at the center raises concerns for childcare experts. One expert interviewed by CBS noted that basic daycare safety standards should prevent toxic chemicals from ever being stored near drinking water, and questioned whether proper corrective steps were taken after the first set of incidents.

How The Button Law Firm Helps Families After Daycare Safety Failures

Although BLF is not connected to this case, our firm regularly works with parents whose children are seriously harmed because a daycare failed to follow basic safety procedures. Incidents involving chemical exposures, unsafe cleaning practices, and hazardous supervision are preventable. When daycares violate safety standards, families have the right to pursue legal action.

BLF investigates what went wrong, examines policies and training failures, reviews video footage and documentation, and works to hold negligent daycare facilities accountable. These cases are not only about supporting families but also about improving safety practices so other children are not put at risk.

We believe that every daycare must operate with a safety-first mindset. When they don’t, families deserve answers and a pathway to justice.
