Three preschool teachers suspended after three-year-old allegedly locked in dark room

Three preschool teachers suspended this week over allegations of child mistreatment have been barred from working in the sector while investigations are ongoing. The Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) said this is to ensure the children's safety. The allegations involve accounts of a three-year-old being locked in a dark room. He was reportedly struck, pinched and yelled at by his teachers. The name of the preschool is being withheld to protect the child's identity.
