Two employees of a Calgary daycare have been charged with assault after parents found physical markings on their child and notified police.
Officers say the alleged abuse took place inside Kidzee Early Learning and Childcare in the city's northeast.
The licensed facility has been closed since early January, just a few weeks after abuse allegations were originally brought forward.
Some of the allegations against staff include shaking, slapping and confinement for hours on end without food, activity or attention.
Police say their Child at Risk Response Team conducted numerous interviews and reviewed hundreds of hours of CCTV footage before arresting the two employees on April 27.
"They committed assault on these children," Staff Sgt. Brad Moore told CTV News.
"It wasn't just a little bit of a shake. There were marks."
