A former daycare teacher at Lil’ Explorers in Plymouth has been sentenced for the malicious punishment of a child after being caught on camera pushing and yelling at toddlers she was overseeing. In July, Katie Voigt pleaded guilty to two counts of malicious punishment of a child after videos surfaced showing her screaming at toddlers and pushing a child into a table. The videos were secretly recorded by teaching assistant Yanni Thomas, who said she was concerned about what she had witnessed in the classroom on multiple occasions.
