Last year, at a nursery school in Numazu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, it was found that the director and several nursery teachers were doing inappropriate childcare, such as pulling the cheeks of a 0-year-old child and scribbling on the face of the child.

Numazu City will conduct an on-site audit to investigate the detailed situation.

According to Numazu City, from April to October last year at a nursery school in the city, the director and several nursery teachers pulled the cheeks of a 0-year-old child and scribbled on the face of the child with a water-based pen. , After chasing the children who were afraid of the mask and crying at the event, they took pictures of these situations and shared them with staff such as nursery teachers using the message app.



On the 20th, the office manager of the company that operates the nursery school and the nursery teacher reported to the city that inappropriate childcare was being provided. It means that he also confirmed the act.



According to the city, the nursery teacher who is said to have committed the act acknowledged inappropriate childcare at the staff meeting on the night of the 20th, but the city has not directly heard from the director or the nursery teacher who is said to have committed the act. It means you haven't heard.



The city will conduct an on-site inspection based on the Child Welfare Law within this month to investigate the detailed situation.

Mayor Shuichi Yorishige of Numazu City commented, ``It is very regrettable that inappropriate childcare was provided at the nursery school in the city.We will provide appropriate guidance and supervision based on the law.''



This nursery school is a facility that has been approved by the city as a "regional childcare business", and Numazu City does not disclose the name of the facility because it is a small number of children.
