The director of a KinderCare in Henrico County faces two misdemeanor charges for allegedly failing to report suspected child abuse.

Laressa Jefferson, 49, made her first court appearance Tuesday in Henrico General District Court.

Jefferson is the director of the KinderCare on Cedar Fork Road. Her charges stem from a child abuse case against 33-year-old Bethany Davis, a daycare worker at the same facility. Davis is accused of pinching, flicking and pulling the hair of seven different children between April 1 and June 30 of this year.

Jefferson is accused of being aware of two of those incidents — one on April 8 and another on June 11 — but failing to report them.
