BLF Represents Family in Lawsuit Against Lewisville Daycare After Toddler’s Facial Injury, as Reported by FWST

Fort Worth Star-Telegram Reports on Lawsuit Filed by The Button Law Firm Following Preventable Daycare Injury

The Button Law Firm is representing a North Texas family whose 2-year-old daughter suffered a serious injury at The Learning Experience-Castle Hills in Lewisville. As detailed by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the daycare’s negligence led to the toddler falling face-first on a slippery floor and sustaining lasting dental damage.

The lawsuit shows that daycare staff ignored a known hazard, rainwater leaking near the playground door, and failed to take action to protect the children in their care. Staff downplayed the severity of the injury and did not seek emergency medical care, allowing the child to suffer for hours before proper treatment.

A Fall That Was Completely Preventable

In May 2024, rainwater leaked into the center and pooled near the playground door. While a caregiver admitted to cleaning the water once, the wet floor was not monitored or blocked off for the remainder of the day. This negligence directly caused the toddler’s slip and fall shortly after.

The child’s mouth was injured so severely that one front tooth had to be removed prematurely, and the other tooth was permanently discolored. Blood soaked her clothing and face, continuing to flow for hours without medical intervention.

Despite obvious signs of injury, daycare staff assured the child’s mother that her daughter was “doing fine” and only needed an ice pack. Multiple caregivers expressed concern that emergency care was necessary, but no one called 911.

State Investigation Confirms Daycare’s Failure to Protect Children

The Button Law Firm provided the Fort Worth Star-Telegram with a copy of the Texas Health and Human Services Commission’s investigation report. The report aligns with the claims made in the lawsuit and confirms that the daycare failed to clean, repair, and maintain a safe environment for the children. It also found that the daycare staff failed to use good judgment in supervising the children.

The toddler’s pediatric dentist confirmed the injuries included displaced and chipped teeth and expressed serious concern about potential long-term damage to adult teeth and nerves.

Troubling Inspection History Reflects Systemic Problems

Though the most recent inspection showed no violations, earlier inspections revealed repeated safety lapses at the daycare, including:

• Failing to have an EpiPen available for a child with a documented allergy
• Caregivers neglecting handwashing after diaper changes
• Failing to clean the hands of children after diaper changes

These findings reveal ongoing disregard for essential childcare safety protocols.

Media Coverage Like This Drives Real Change

Coverage by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram is crucial because it exposes dangerous daycare practices and holds negligent providers accountable. These stories spark awareness, encourage stricter enforcement of childcare laws, and advocate for safer environments for all children.

Holding The Learning Experience Accountable

The family, represented by The Button Law Firm, demands accountability and change so no other child suffers due to ignored hazards. The firm is confident in the strength of the case and committed to seeking justice for the toddler who paid a heavy price for the daycare’s negligence.

“The Learning Experience failed our daughter in every possible way,” the toddler’s father shared. “No parent should ever face this heartbreak, especially when it was preventable.”
