Thanks for your imput everyone.

ausgirl, I'm certain that the parents handbook I was given said that if violent behaviour becomes a problem that isn't being resolved the child will have to be removed from the centre. To quote the handbook, it says "If a child is so undisciplined as that other children in the centre are placed in danger of injury or the staff need to devote an unreasonable amount of time to the offending child, we will call in Child Care Support Agencies with the parents consent. If this action is not successful the parents may be asked to remove their child from the centre." So by that I would imagine that they can remove a child if that child is a risk to others, which this hellion seems to be.

The more I think about this the angrier I feel about it actually, particularly the victim blaming. I think I'm going to take DD out of the centre. I've moved out of the area so its not local anymore and it's also the most expensive centre I've come across (as I discovered after I'd already enrolled her lol). My mother is taking DD to daycare tomorrow and is going to discuss this, I'd rather not do it because I just know I'm going to get upset. I'm furious that the cause of the incident was "DD started climbing over the younger child" (well gee, they're in the same age room). If it were me, I would've out under 'cause of incident' that "the children were being poorly supervised". I don't think the centre is well supervised at all actually, DD had an accident once because she was climbing on a toy shelf and it fell on top of her. WHY was this able to happen and WHY was the shelf not bolted into the wall?? But I digress.
