Managing bully at kindergarten (lemmy.world)

My child is being punched at kindergarten by a girl who also continually does things to him. For example, putting soap on his chair, messing with his outdoor clothes, etc.

The teachers know and have talked to the girl's parents, but the behavior continues. My child is scared to go and cries about it sometimes. I'm not entirely sure how to handle it, because that's the teachers job and I'm not there to help or see it.

Eventually, I'm considering involving the police, but that seems pretty last resort.

Any suggestions?

Edit

The director and teachers are all aware of the issues

What helped in some cases for me:

  1. There was a boy bullying our daughter on the playground so she didn't want to go, he was 5 and she 4 or so. One time I went there when his mother also was there and scolded him really loudly infront of everyone. The mom came running and said she will get her husband who does karate or whatever, I just told her to do it but if her son ever talkes to my daughter then I will deal with him if she can't.
  2. A girl was biting our son in Kindergarten so he would come home with bite marks, she was half a year smaller than him, he was about 3. We told the principal that we expect them to move this girl to at least a different group so she stops biting him, better that they remove her from that Kindergarten. It went a bit back and forth but then her parents moved her to a different Kindergarden.
