College Station, Texas – Lawsuit Filed Against Aggieland Country School for Endangering Toddler’s Safety

Clara Gonzalez and Javier Perez are taking legal action against Aggieland Country School, alleging that their two-year-old daughter was endangered by the institution’s practices. The couple filed the lawsuit on July 17, 2025, after their daughter, referred to as J.P.G. in court documents, was reportedly left alone outside the building during school hours in violation of Texas childcare laws.

The lawsuit claims that the Montessori school routinely allowed J.P.G. to remain outside unattended for extended periods when she cried or had difficulty falling asleep. This alarming behavior came to light following a November 2023 licensing inspection, during which a state inspector discovered the toddler locked outside and visibly distressed, dressed only in a T-shirt and jeans in 60-degree weather.

Importantly, the school did not inform Gonzalez and Perez about these incidents, which contravened regulations stipulating immediate notification of any serious occurrences involving a child. The parents learned about the treatment of their daughter through an independent investigation initiated by a state official, further heightening their concerns about the facility’s practices.

The state inspection revealed multiple violations at Aggieland Country School, with the institution cited for failing to adhere to eight minimum standards. Key issues included allegations of child neglect and the lack of necessary annual training documents for the school’s staff. This negligence raises serious questions about the safety and oversight provided to children in their care.

Attorney Russell Button, representing the Gonzalez-Perez family, emphasized the importance of accountability in ensuring the safety of Texas children. The legal action is categorized under the case name Clara Gonzalez and Javier Perez, Individually and as parents and next friends of J.P.G., a minor child, vs. Mitabani, LLC, d/b/a Aggieland Country School, Cause No. 25-001764-CV-272 in the District Court of Brazos County, Texas.

Background on Childcare Issues in Texas

Prior to this incident, Texas childcare facilities had already come under scrutiny for various safety concerns and compliance issues with state laws. These ongoing challenges highlight the critical need for stricter regulations and enforcement actions to ensure a safe environment for children. The ongoing lawsuit against Aggieland Country School serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities that exist within childcare settings and the imperative for ongoing oversight.

Gonzalez and Perez have retained the Button Law Firm, which specializes in litigation related to children’s safety and addressing cases of child neglect and abuse. This legal case is expected to draw attention to the importance of stringent adherence to childcare regulations as the state grapples with its responsibilities to protect its youngest residents.

The outcome of the lawsuit will likely have broader implications for childcare practices across Texas, as families and advocates continue to push for enhanced legal protections and oversight for children in educational settings. As the legal proceedings unfold, the parents remain focused on seeking justice for their daughter and raising awareness about the critical issues surrounding child safety in daycare environments.
