A lawsuit released Wednesday lists 13 counts against Vanguard Academy daycare in east Louisville.
The claims in the lawsuit against Vanguard Academy include spraying kids with water bottles, dropping infants and cursing at them.
One of the incidents mentioned in the lawsuit occurred September 28. The daycare said a day later it was working with law enforcement in its investigation.
Racheal Flannery, 24, was arrested in connection to the incident on September 30.
Flannery’s arrest report claims she tried to force a bottle into one child’s mouth and purposefully dropped another on the floor, among other accusations.
Police charged Flannery with with three counts of criminal abuse of a victim younger than 12. She is now on home incarceration after posting her $25,000 bond.
Childcare centers are inspected yearly by the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services. The agency investigates reports of violations when they receive them, and Vanguard has several of them.
The Vanguard Academy has been investigated at least 30 times since 2012.
The lawsuit also claims Vanguard Academy didn’t do full background checks on employees, had poor training procedures, and ignored concerns from parents and employees.
Some parents say in the lawsuit the daycare hired addicts who used drugs in the facility.
