A Daycare’s Decision Left a Child Scared and Alone
On November 11, caregivers at Aggieland Country School sent the toddler outside as a form of punishment because she cried during nap time. This behavior is entirely normal for children her age. Rather than offering comfort or redirection, the daycare chose to isolate her, place her on the back porch, and close the door behind her.
Even more alarming, this wasn’t an isolated incident. According to a state investigation, this dangerous practice was repeated multiple times. Caregivers routinely removed the toddler from the classroom and left her outside alone whenever she struggled to fall asleep.
On the day the behavior was discovered, the little girl was left outside, scared and cold, with no way to get back inside. The temperature hovered around 61 degrees with overcast skies. She wore only a T-shirt. There was no adult supervision and no protection from harm. Anything could have happened.
A Family Left in the Dark
Perhaps even more disturbing is that the child’s parents were never told what happened. Aggieland Country School chose not to inform them that their daughter had been left outside unattended. The daycare never documented the incident, and no one reached out to explain the dangerous and inappropriate punishment their daughter endured.
It wasn’t until a state investigation began that the truth came to light. State investigators later confirmed that the daycare’s actions violated multiple childcare licensing standards and put the young child at serious risk.
State Investigation Reveals Multiple Violations
Following a detailed investigation, state authorities found that Aggieland Country School failed to follow several minimum standards required for licensed childcare centers. Those violations included:
- Failing to supervise a child at all times
- Using punishment associated with naps
- Failing to provide quiet activities for children unable to sleep
- Engaging in harsh and cruel disciplinary measures
- Failing to ensure that caregivers demonstrated competency and good judgment
- Failing to report a dangerous incident to the child’s parents
- Neglecting the health and safety of a child in their care
The state’s findings reflect a complete breakdown in the daycare’s responsibility to protect the children entrusted to them.
Preventable Harm That Changed a Family’s Life
The trauma this child experienced could have been entirely avoided. This was not an accident. It was a conscious and repeated choice by caregivers to remove a child from the classroom and leave her alone in conditions that could have led to serious illness, injury, or even abduction.
Her parents enrolled her in Aggieland Country School with the belief that she would be nurtured and protected. Instead, she was put in danger by those entrusted with her care. The emotional scars from those repeated incidents may last far beyond the physical ones.
