She said the child had tried to kick her after she took the rake away, and she had held his hand and said "don't kick me".
A employment disciplinary process commenced, and the centre found allegations made against the teacher amounted to serious misconduct.
The teacher told the tribunal she felt as though she was being set up for dismissal, and pressured into leaving her job, and she later resigned.
A mandatory report was lodged with the Teachers Council shortly after this, and two incidents were referred to.
The first was an allegation the teacher had pulled a child on her arm in a "rough manner", and another where she allegedly marched towards a child.
The teacher was later found to not have provided these mandatory reports, or any record of having worked for the centre, in her CV when she applied for a new role at an early childhood centre.
When the woman's employer confronted her about the reports, the teacher was adamant she had not done anything wrong, and told her employer she had "consistently disputed" the report with the Teachers Council, the tribunal said.
The women was later dismissed from her job, for failing to provide the information to her employer.
She later told the tribunal that she had not mentioned the employment because she knew she was "innocent".
The tribunal said it believed there was "no doubt whatsoever" the teacher failed to provide a "frank" CV, which accurately disclosed her employment history.
It found the teachers actions "clearly reflected adversely on her fitness to be a teacher".
"The tribunal was deeply concerned about [the teacher's] inability to acknowledge or even to see that her behaviour was dishonest and unacceptable."
The teachers was censured, her registration was cancelled, and she was also ordered to pay half the complainants costs.
