It may be considered negligent by the teacher to have done this, but the real issue is whether the child suffered any injuries as a result. If not, you probably don't want to pursue a legal case or claim for damages. That being said, you may want to talk with the school administrators to discuss the situation in hopes of preventing it from happening again.
