The accused was tried on two counts: assault contrary to section 266 of the Criminal Code and assault causing bodily harm contrary to section 267(b) of the Criminal Code.
The charges arose from incidents on February 23, 2017, involving a 21-month-old toddler in the accused's home daycare.
The Crown alleged the accused repeatedly dropped the child onto a carpeted floor in a hallway and assaulted the child in a stairwell by yanking her arm and slapping her face.
The accused claimed the injuries resulted from accidental falls and normal childcare activities.
The court found the accused guilty on both counts based on video surveillance evidence of the stairwell assault and credible eyewitness testimony regarding the hallway incidents.
