Few details have been divulged about the classroom incident that the executive director of Moncton Headstart says was brought to her attention on May 22.
Mary O’Donnell says the incident was reported to New Brunswick’s Department of Education and Early Childhood Development and two staff members were suspended with pay.
Those two staff members as well as two others were then fired from the daycare as the provincial department launched its own investigation.
