Hi,
1. This morning a nursemaid at a kindergaten slapped a 2 year old boy in the face for being disturbed while sleeping.
2. This morning a nurserymaid at a preschool slapped a 2 year old boy in the face for being bothered while sleeping.

kindergarten - Usually used to refer to the first class in the public school system. Not a preschool.

nurserymaid - Rarely used in modern English. Say eg daycare worker, teacher, teacher's aide

Say
'. . . . . for disturbing her while she was sleeping."

- Are the sentences above ok to say?

Here's how it is in Canada.
First, people in charge of children will get fired if they sleep while working.
Second, and more serious, it is a crime to hit a child in this way. The person can even go to jail.
