Carrollton Leader Covers BLF Lawsuit Over Severe Injury to Toddler at The Learning Experience-Castle Hills

Carrollton Leader Highlights BLF’s Lawsuit Against The Learning Experience-Castle Hills

The Carrollton Leader recently reported on a lawsuit filed by The Button Law Firm against The Learning Experience-Castle Hills in Lewisville, Texas. The case, filed in Collin County District Court, alleges the daycare’s negligence and disregard for basic safety practices caused a two-year-old girl to suffer a severe and preventable injury.

According to the Carrollton Leader feature, this lawsuit is about more than one family’s tragedy; it’s about holding a childcare facility accountable for dangerous conditions and failing to respond to an emergency.

What Happened at The Learning Experience-Castle Hills

As covered in the Carrollton Leader, the incident occurred during a storm in 2024. Rainwater leaked into the daycare center through the door leading to the playground, creating a slippery floor. Staff members were aware of the hazard but failed to clean it up, block off the area, or warn children and caregivers.

The family’s two-year-old daughter slipped on the wet floor, falling face-first and severely chipping a tooth. The impact caused heavy bleeding that soaked her dress and reportedly continued for hours.

Rather than calling 911, staff called the child’s mother, urging her not to come to the daycare or seek emergency medical care. Staff reportedly told her that her daughter was “doing fine” and only needed an ice pack.

The injury proved to be much more severe than the staff described. One of the toddler’s front teeth had to be extracted, and the other front tooth was permanently discolored.

A Pattern of Violations and Safety Failures

The Carrollton Leader also noted that the lawsuit points to a troubling history of violations at The Learning Experience-Castle Hills. The state’s childcare licensing division had previously cited the center for failing to repair hazardous conditions, not using good judgment in caring for children, and not maintaining a safe environment.

Just one year before the incident, the daycare was cited for failing to ensure that its director and staff completed essential emergency response training, such as pediatric first aid and CPR. The lawsuit alleges that these repeated violations demonstrate a pattern of ignoring safety requirements meant to protect children.

The Button Law Firm’s Fight for Accountability

In its coverage, the Carrollton Leader quoted BLF founder Russell Button, who emphasized that this injury was not an unavoidable accident but the result of preventable negligence.

“This was not an unavoidable accident, but the direct result of The Learning Experience ignoring a known safety hazard and failing to act to protect the children in its care,” Button said. “A two-year-old girl paid the price for that negligence, and we aim to hold The Learning Experience accountable, so this never happens to another child.”

The child’s father echoed this sentiment in the Carrollton Leader report, expressing deep disappointment and calling for accountability so that no other family has to endure a similar ordeal.
