    A day care worker was arrested for shoving a 2-year-boy multiple times head first into a table at a Bronx pre-school, police said.

    Savitree Nerine, 49, was charged Monday with endangering the welfare of a child and harassment, police said.

    Nevine, an assistant at the day care at Little Stars Preschool on Edson Ave. near Edenwald Ave., got angry at the boy Monday morning and allegedly shoved him into a table multiple times, according to cops. The city’s Department of Education contracts with the community-based program to provide early childhood services.

    Someone later in the morning reported the assault to cops and when officers reviewed school camera footage they saw the assault, officials said.

    “This alleged behavior is extremely concerning, and we do not condone this at any schools or contracted early childhood programs,” public schools spokeswoman Nicole Brownstein said in a statement. “We are in communication with the contracted early childhood program on any necessary next steps.”
