[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DS has been at this daycare/preschool since September. He originally had 3 teachers in his classroom, 2 are gone (left their jobs) and only 1 original staff member is left. I've noticed it's not only the trend in my DS's class but in other classrooms as well. Is that normal? We're new parents, so not sure if it's okay to have such a high staff turnover. We've had positive interactions with all teachers, but they just seem to be leaving and I'm not sure if it has a good impact on my DS and his social development. [/quote]

This is what to expect from preschool and if anyone tells you differently here they are lying . Retention rate for preschool or daycare can be found online and it has it at 42% turnover rate per year.  So if your preschool had 30 teachers, you can expect 12 to leave in a year.  If your preschool has 10 you can expect 4.  Also when teachers leave they never want to take responsibility for their own lack of commitment to the class and the school but blame the admin or parents because it is easier on them.  Children are stronger and able to deal with such turnover better than we think.  If the school has a great program overall and is secure and open to your input for the sake of your child stay.  Base to decision on how you feel about the school not what someone tells you.  Again my advice.[/quote]
