(Seguin) – A local mother says she’s outraged after learning that an employee at a local daycare allegedly slapped her 5-year-old child. Not only is the mother angry over the incident involving an employee at Leap Ahead Learning but she is also upset that she is just now learning about the incident that reportedly happened back in January.
The child’s mother on May 2, 2025, filed a report with the Seguin Police Department. The daycare center is located at 607 Jefferson Ave.
In her statement to police, the woman claims that she was made aware of the event by a former employee who worked at the daycare at the time. The mother tells the Seguin Daily News that the woman was reportedly suspended at the time for three days and claims that the director of the daycare did not notify her or her husband about the incident.
The mother also claims that daycare staff were told “not to say anything because the situation had been handled by the 3-day suspension.”
Seguin Police Department detectives have since conducted two forensic interviews with the child and multiple interviews with those affiliated with the daycare as part of the ongoing investigation. Additionally, they say the Texas Department of Health and Human Services has also launched an independent investigation into the matter.
The investigation by the Seguin Police Department remains active. Officials say no further details are being released to preserve the integrity of the investigation.
Anyone with information related to this case is encouraged to contact the Seguin Police Department at (830) 401-2360.
