Why would anyone suddenly think that high turnover is good? Usually the very first question parents have for daycares is, 
"How long have the caregivers been here?" 
No one wants high turnover.

I don't think anyone is saying that high turnover is good. What people are saying, if you read them as they are and not as you wish them to be, is that absence of turnover, while a good thing, does not trump every other consideration in rearing children. What trumps everything is the fit between the needs of the child as part of the family, and the skills of a caregiver. Would it make you feel better if the daycare director assured you that her illiterate, hygiene-challenged, cold caregivers have been with her for twenty years?

Stability isn't like oxygen; there is no need to forget everything else or put up with everything else for the sake of it - otherwise, for instance, no one would get out of bad marriages. What good is there in stable misery? Or even in stable mediocrity? Change isn't lethal.[/quote]

Well said, PP.

I understand the nanny's interest in wanting job security, but framing that as an issue of stability for children fails to take into account all the other factors to consider when it comes to the best care for children.[/quote]
