The women are allegedly seen in video taken at Our Children's Academy as they taunted and laughed at the 8-year-old boy. At one point, one of the women is seen holding both the boy's arms and using her leg to swipe the his legs out from under him, cops say.
Winter Haven police say the video was posted to Snapchat.
"These workers were supposed to be trained in how to handle children with behavioral issues. They are trained to de-escalate situations, but that obviously did not happen,” Winter Haven Police Chief Charlie Bird told reporters.
The women were both questioned Sept. 15 but not charged. After police decided there was sufficient evidence to bring charges, the women reportedly could not be found.
Both they have since turned themselves in to police.
