Further action may be taken if Kinderland and the Woodlands Mart centre leader were found not to have fulfilled their duty of care to the children, says ECDA.

. The judge granted the prosecution's application for her to be remanded at the Institute of Mental Health.

"ECDA will continue to work closely with preschool operators and training providers to ensure our centre leaders and educators understand their duty of care to the children and do their utmost to prevent child mismanagement from happening." In a statement issued on Tuesday night, Kinderland said that it would put in place new measures for the welfare of children and teachers in both centres.

The preschool chain has also set up an extra point of contact for parents to directly contact centres and headquarters.There are explicit provisions in the Early Childhood Development Centres Act and Regulations that prohibit the use of corporal punishment or any other inappropriate child management practices in preschools.

Those who are found to have committed serious acts of child mismanagement will be barred from working in the preschool sector.
