DALLAS — A lawsuit against a northeast Dallas day care alleges a kindergartner was pushed out of a chair by a staff member and that her class was required to do push-ups and wall sits as a form of punishment.
The negligence lawsuit, filed in a Dallas County court May 18 against East Ridge Academy by parent April Wallace, seeks more than $1 million in damages. East Ridge Academy did not immediately respond to multiple requests for comment.
The lawsuit alleges Wallace’s 6-year-old daughter was inappropriately disciplined Aug. 8 when she and her class were made to do push-ups as a form of punishment. The children were also punished with wall sits, according to records from Texas Health and Human Services’ child care regulation division.
