ABC27 Covers The Button Law Firm’s Case Against The Learning Experience-Castle Hills after Child’s Severe Fall

ABC27 Coverage Brings National Attention to North Texas Daycare Negligence Case

In a recent report, ABC27 highlighted a lawsuit filed by The Button Law Firm on behalf of a North Texas family whose 2-year-old daughter was seriously injured at The Learning Experience-Castle Hills daycare in Lewisville. The case, now gaining national media attention, reveals an alarming breakdown in safety protocols and transparency, as detailed in the ABC27 feature.

The family's legal action stems from a severe injury their toddler suffered after slipping on a wet floor that daycare staff failed to clean or block off. However, as ABC27 emphasized, this isn’t just a single mistake; it’s about a daycare center that repeatedly ignored state safety standards and failed the children entrusted to their care.

The Injury Was Serious, But the Daycare Downplayed It

According to the article, it was raining the day of the incident, and water had leaked inside the building near the playground entrance. Staff knew the floor was slick and dangerous, but instead of stepping in to fix it, they did nothing.

Tragically, the toddler slipped on that very spot, falling face-first onto the hard floor. Her mouth began bleeding heavily, soaking her dress. It was a clear emergency, but ABC27 reports that the staff responded with shocking indifference.

Instead of calling for medical help, the daycare contacted the child’s mother and claimed the child was “doing fine” and needed an ice pack. But the truth, later confirmed by an investigation and medical care, was far more serious. One front tooth was damaged so badly it had to be extracted. The other was permanently discolored.

In a statement featured in the ABC27 article, the child’s family shared that they want accountability and change so that no other family at this daycare has to endure the same heartbreak.

A History of Safety Violations

One of the most disturbing parts of the case, highlighted in ABC27’s feature, is that this daycare had already been cited for serious safety failures. An investigation by the Texas childcare licensing division found that The Learning Experience-Castle Hills had a pattern of neglecting safety rules and demonstrating poor decision-making in its supervision of children.

According to the complaint, the daycare had been previously cited for ignoring hazardous conditions inside the facility, failing to use good judgment while caring for children, and not ensuring that staff and the center’s director completed critical emergency response training, such as CPR and Pediatric First Aid.

The lawsuit filed by The Button Law Firm argues that these repeated violations created a dangerous environment and that the child’s injury was not only foreseeable but also preventable.

Holding The Learning Experience Accountable

“This wasn’t a fluke or bad luck,” said attorney Russell Button in the ABC27 article. “This was a known hazard, ignored by people who were supposed to watch out for children. A 2-year-old paid the price for their failure.”

The Button Law Firm is pursuing this case not only to secure justice for the injured child and her family, but to push for stronger safety enforcement and oversight at daycare centers across Texas. Every child deserves to be in a safe, caring environment, and accountability matters when that basic standard is violated.

Coverage Like ABC27’s Helps Drive Change

Bringing these stories to light helps more families understand what can happen when daycare centers don’t follow the rules. Media coverage like ABC27’s is vital in raising awareness, holding negligent facilities accountable, and pushing for better protections for all children. The more eyes on these preventable incidents, the stronger the push for safer standards in child care across Texas and beyond.
