Special needs child in preschool

My kid is 3 years old in N1 preschool. She has a classmate with special needs who likes to hit others. Since the beginning of year, she has been bullied by this boy several times. What do you think we should do. Please don't ask me to change school as my girl loves this school and her classmates. There are also no vacancies around my area.

As a teacher, I suggest that we drop the word “bully” and teach children to use the specific words for what actually happened, eg push, kick etc. Some kids play rough. Some kids quarrel or fight with one another but are friends again soon after. You can feedback to the teacher what happened. Ask if a change in the classroom seating is possible. Teach your child to stay away or protect herself. Teach her about compassion and empathy towards her special classmate. Kids are stronger and more adaptable than we thought, if we allow them to.

as explained in the previous reply, today she got a bruise on her forehead because the boy threw a toy on her during nap time. based on records, she sleeps at every nap time, so there shouldn't be any playing. staying away is already taught, and the classroom looks small. I'm not too sure if changing another seat can solve the problem.
