This poor child needs help! She is acting out of frustration. The fact that she always shows up stinking makes me very nervous for this is a sign of neglect. You need to speak to your supervisor and have the parents attend a meeting with you and have your supervisor there for a witness.
When the parents do come in, ask them to bring the little girl. This way, you and your supervisor can observe how they treat her in front of you. After the meeting, you have to decide whether or not to call children's age.
Neglect is abuse and should be reported.

As an Daycare Provider i do understand how you feel but the problem you have now is obseverving
you see how the child is treated and how she reacts to other peers gain her trust and she will tell you what the problem is and you need to schedule an parent conference with the childs parents to talk about her behavior and then follow your heart.

Talk to her about what is happening at home and gain her trust. There may be something more awful happening to her that you don't see.

Talk to your supervisor about her poor hygiene, get clearance to bathe her and get her a nice outfit and send her home with a note that she must come bathed. The parents might get the point.

I would work privately with her and your supervisor on her social skills and how others respond to her. let her know being a bully isn't tolerated. Take into account her special needs and try to get her on the right track.

It might be hellish at first. I think her parents have thrown in the towel or don't know how to care for her. Bail her out to the best of your ability.
