A woman working at the Ocean View Baptist Church TLC Preschool was arrested Wednesday morning due to her alleged actions at the school, according to Myrtle Beach police arrest records.
The charge listed for 33-year-old Katherine Coleman is unlawful neglect of a child, and the preschool did verify the incident happened on school grounds.
Coleman was caught on video surveillance last Friday grabbing a 1-year-old’s arm and pushing his head into a mat multiple times, according to the arrest warrant.
She has a bond hearing scheduled for 4 p.m. Wednesday, according to the South Carolina Public Index.
TLC shared this statement with The Sun News regarding the incident:
“The Learning Center, TLC, has a high standard when it comes to level of care for the children, families and staff that it serves. When that level of care drops below this standard, TLC immediately follows stated processes and procedures to ensure that proper attention and action is given. This past week, one of our TLC instructors did not meet this standard of care that is expected from those in our childcare center. Immediate and appropriate action was taken to remove the teacher from our center. Proper authorities were also notified regarding this specific situation. And we are working with and praying for the families that have been affected.”
This is the second time in less than a week that a Myrtle Beach child care worker has been arrested for improper child care.
