Day care boss backs worker in tot attack

THE OWNER of a Brooklyn day care center where a teacher was accused of sitting on a 3-year-old girl and pinning the child’s arm behind her back raced to her defense Tuesday, even though she fired the woman after her arrest.

“We are saddened that none of the positive things the teacher did to console the child made it into any of the reporting,” Bambi Daycare owner Allison Reid wrote in a letter to parents of enrolled children while noting teacher Ekaterina Silva, 35, “is no longer working at Bambi.”

“I hope she’s OK,” Reid said Tuesday. “We are all human, we all make mistakes.”

Silva, who is out on bail, faces charges of attempted assault, endangering the welfare of a child, attempted unlawful imprisonment and harassment in the Thursday attack caught on video in the Rogers Ave., Crown Heights, center. Little Lauren Henry’s mother called police Friday when the girl told her somebody walked on her back.

“I really don’t know what I’m going to do,” said Nicole Rose, 34, who enrolled her son at Bambi three weeks ago. “My son has autism. I don’t want anybody treating him bad.”
