On November 7, the parents of a student in Beijing Aisichu Leyuan Kindergarten called the police saying that their child was "pricked with a needle" by a teacher in the kindergarten. The Longyuan Police Station immediately dispatched officers to investigate and collect evidence, and brought relevant personnel back to assist in the investigation. The kindergarten said it had suspended the teacher and principal involved and organized parents to review the surveillance video. There is no conclusion yet on this matter and the police are investigating.
On November 10, the kindergarten told parents that it had received a verbal notice from the government that "the kindergarten will be closed for rectification due to operations beyond its scope, and the children may have to find a new school." Parents were worried that the school would be closed due to a suspected "needle prick" incident, so they spontaneously organized a signature campaign to "defend the kindergarten", hoping that the government would not close the kindergarten, investigate the incident as soon as possible, and restore order in the kindergarten.
Some parents said that their children like their teachers very much and believe in the kindergarten. “We don’t want all kindergartens to be regarded as ‘parent-child gardens’ because of one ‘parent-child garden’ incident. If there is no evidence, we cannot destroy it. It destroys a good kindergarten and destroys excellent early childhood educators.”
Mr. Li, the parent who initiated the joint signature campaign, told Daily People that the contradiction between supply and demand between the number of preschool children and the number of kindergarten admissions in Huilongguan area is prominent. , once Aisichu Leyuan Kindergarten is closed, more than 100 children in the kindergarten will have no way to go to school.
Aischu Leyuan Kindergarten’s attorney Liu Lina told the Daily People that the kindergarten is actively cooperating with the police to investigate the matter, has also installed more cameras in the kindergarten corridor, and is communicating with the children of the parents who reported the case. Accept the injury assessment to see if the red spots are rashes or man-made injuries, waiting for further investigation by the police.
It was revealed that a teacher in the kindergarten "pricked" a girl with a needle, and parents expressed their trust in the kindergarten teacher
On November 7, the Longyuan Police Station in Huilongguan, Changping District, Beijing received a call from Aisichu Leyuan. A report was made by a parent in a kindergarten. The parent said that when he was bathing his child, he found several red spots on the outside of his child's knees. He immediately asked the child, and the child said that they were punctured by the Themis Class B teacher, so he reported it to the police.
The screenshot of the conversation provided by Mr. Li to Daily People shows that the kindergarten said that the child of the parent who reported the case was transferred from Iris class to Themis class at the end of September this year. Mr. Li told the Daily People that the parent's child once said that he had received acupuncture from Teacher A in Iris class, so the parent asked the child to transfer to another class.
The town government then arranged for staff to come to Aisichu Leyuan Kindergarten to understand the situation. At the same time, the Longyuan Police Station dispatched police to check the surveillance video of the class involved for investigation and evidence collection, and took the relevant personnel to the police station to assist in the investigation. . Daily People called Longyuan Police Station, and the other party said it was not convenient to disclose the case at the moment.
The kindergarten stated that the teacher and principal involved will be suspended during the investigation and will actively cooperate with the police station investigation. The kindergarten also said that it has arranged for relevant classes to hold collective parent meetings and organized parents to review surveillance videos.
Lawyer Liu Lina said that the kindergarten had watched the videos for nearly a month and did not find any corporal punishment by the teacher on the students. At the same time, she also said that during the parent-teacher meeting, parents all commented on the teacher. Very high.
The chat records provided by Mr. Li show that most parents trust the kindergarten. One parent said: "My child entered the kindergarten when he was two and a half years old. He cried when he got up from the beginning. I don’t want to leave, and I am more excited to see the teacher than to see my own mother. Only when the teacher pays attention to the child can the child react like this.”
Mr. Li, who took the lead in writing a joint letter to support the kindergarten, told Daily People. , what he knows about the child of the parent who reported the case is: "The second child was just born at home, and she is very emotional; in addition, in the class, she may be a little slow to react, and the children will often joke about why she is slow. Yes, the teacher had to be more involved. One time her mother came to school to discuss the child's problem. One day her father threatened her at home and said he would stab her with a needle no matter what. "I also pricked her."
Mr. Li said that parents ask their children if they have been pricked by teachers every day, and the children say no, and they also say, "I like our teacher very much!" They even ask why there are so many police officers in the kindergarten and when will the teachers come back? Parents can’t answer.
Lawyer Liu Lina said that the kindergarten is communicating with the parents who reported the case to have their children undergo injury assessment, and is waiting for further investigation by the police to see whether the red spots are rashes or man-made injuries, and to further determine whether the teacher pricked the child.
The kindergarten was accused of operating beyond its scope, and parents jointly launched a defense war
The joint letter from parents provided by Mr. Li showed that on November 10, the kindergarten’s teachers verbally informed parents that , received a verbal notice from the government that "the kindergarten will be closed for rectification due to operating beyond its scope, and the children may have to find another school."
In this joint letter to governments at all levels signed by Mr. Li and 65 other parents, the parents said that their children have feelings for their teachers and like their kindergarten, and they cannot accept their children transferring to another school midway. , "All kindergartens in Huilongguan are either full, or they are so-called 'out-of-scope operations.' Where can we find schools now? The children may not be studying!"
Mr. Li told Daily People It is said that it is the middle of the semester and other kindergartens are already full, making it extremely difficult to transfer.
Aisichu Leyuan Kindergarten was his choice after searching for a long time. Like other parents, he was very satisfied with this kindergarten. "We sincerely request governments at all levels to properly consider and fully investigate before drawing conclusions."
Mr. Li said that the contradiction between supply and demand between the number of preschool children and kindergarten enrollment places in Huilongguan is very prominent, because a considerable number of children do not have Beijing household registration, so parents can only send their children to private kindergartens for preschool education.

Lawyer Liu said that the kindergarten does temporarily lack the qualifications to run a school, but it is actively applying.
Mr. Li said that based on his understanding, the police have obtained videos and interviewed parents, but have not yet announced a conclusion. “If there is indeed something, we will find out and give everyone an explanation; if it is true, No, we can't compromise easily, it's not fair to the teachers." As for the school that may be closed, parents feel that it is "very unfair" to the kindergarten to be closed because of this matter that has not yet been investigated.
Daily People called Aisichu Leyuan Kindergarten, and the other party said that the kindergarten is still in class as usual. According to Mr. Li and lawyer Liu, the parent who claimed that his child had been stabbed with a needle had transferred his child to another school.
