KENS5 Highlights Lawsuit Filed by The Button Law Firm Against The Learning Experience-Castle Hills After Toddler Suffers Serious Injury

A Toddler’s Injury Sparks Legal Action Featured on KENS5

In a heartbreaking case recently featured on KENS5, The Button Law Firm filed a lawsuit against The Learning Experience-Castle Hills in Lewisville, Texas, after a 2-year-old child was seriously injured. The toddler slipped on water that was leaking into the daycare facility during a rainstorm, resulting in a severe facial injury that caused the child to lose one of her front teeth prematurely.

The incident has raised serious questions about daycare safety and the responsibility these facilities have to protect the children in their care. KENS5's coverage brought this critical story to public attention, highlighting the injury and its negligence.

What Happened? Details of the Injury and Negligence

The lawsuit outlines that the child slipped and fell forward, hitting her face and mouth with such force that one of her front teeth chipped immediately. The injury caused significant bleeding, which soaked the child’s dress and stained her face, and continued to bleed for hours afterward. The child also experienced discoloration of another front tooth due to the trauma.

Critically, the staff at The Learning Experience-Castle Hills were aware of the water leak but failed to post warning signs or block access to the dangerous, slippery area. Even more concerning, despite the severity of the injury, no one called 911 to get the child emergency medical attention. Instead, the parents were told over the phone that their child was “just bleeding a little” and was given an ice pack.

KENS5’s report emphasizes how these failures point to gross negligence. The state’s childcare licensing division conducted an investigation and cited the daycare for multiple violations, including:

• Failure to properly clean, repair, and maintain the building and grounds
• Failure to ensure equipment and facilities were safe for children
• Failure to maintain competency and good judgment among staff when children were present

Past Violations and Ongoing Safety Concerns

The lawsuit and KENS5 coverage reveal that The Learning Experience-Castle Hills is not new to safety violations. The daycare was cited in the past for similar issues regarding maintenance and staff oversight. This pattern of neglect has left children at risk for preventable injuries like the one suffered by the toddler in this case.

The daycare center, part of a larger franchise with more than a dozen North Texas locations, serves children from six weeks to eight years old. The Button Law Firm’s legal action aims to bring attention to the ongoing safety risks at this facility and push for accountability that protects all children in its care.

How The Button Law Firm Is Fighting for Accountability

Attorney Russell Button of The Button Law Firm, who represents the toddler and her family, spoke to KENS5 about the case, stressing the firm’s commitment to holding negligent daycares accountable.

“This was not an unavoidable accident,” Button said. “It was the direct result of The Learning Experience ignoring a known safety hazard and failing to act to protect the children in its care. A 2-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 Button Law Firm is focused on sending a clear message to daycare providers: child safety must be the top priority.
