THE first six years of life are critical in the development of children. Besides their parents, early childhood educators also play an important part in making sure children get proper care and education during these critical years.

A 10-second video footage of a preschool teacher abusing a child under her care at a kindergarten in Shah Alam recently went viral on social media, rousing the ire of Malaysians. The teacher is seen throwing the child to the ground twice in front of a classroom full of other children.
