Good luck to you in your search, @Mrsbells - I hope you find a great place soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turnover-for-daycare-workers#post-345054 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 15:23:48 +0000 Mrs. Pen 345054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>you have had a lot of daycare issues it seems :( I really hope you find the right one. That must be so frustrating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turnover-for-daycare-workers#post-345051 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 15:22:26 +0000 Mrsbells 345051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone I did ask about it when I went there and I will ask again at the other daycares I am looking at this week </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turnover-for-daycare-workers#post-344385 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 10:23:52 +0000 Mrs. Bee 344385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it is definitely an important question to ask. there has been no turnover in our daycare which is one of the main reasons we love it so much. charlie adores his teachers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turnover-for-daycare-workers#post-344381 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 10:21:33 +0000 Andrea 344381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely ask. It was one of my top questions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turnover-for-daycare-workers#post-344380 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 10:20:25 +0000 mamabolt 344380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely think you should be asking about turnover! That was one reason we liked our daycare when we toured, the lead teacher in the little infant room has been there 13 years, and in the older infant room, 11 years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turnover-for-daycare-workers#post-344376 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 10:17:34 +0000 creativemomma15 344376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely ask about turnover! I work at a daycare where our average turnover is over 10 years. There are many of my coworkers who have been there 15, 20, or 25 years! It definitely makes a difference just with how invested they are and experience. If you are constantly getting new staff not only do they have to learn about each child but the administration has to constantly be training new staff in best practice, daycare policies and curriculum, etc. Good luck finding a new daycare that you love! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turnover-for-daycare-workers#post-344357 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 10:07:28 +0000 T.H.O.U. 344357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree, turnover does seem to factor into the level of care. The more "invested" teachers seem to be much more engaged in the child and familiar with routines and special wishes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turnover-for-daycare-workers#post-344355 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 10:06:38 +0000 prettylizy 344355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That would be really frustrating to me. I think it's a totally legitimate question to ask a daycare provider. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turnover-for-daycare-workers#post-344349 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 10:02:20 +0000 Mrsbells 344349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I'm hoping I will find a daycare like that. I want to move her by the end of the month if not before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turnover-for-daycare-workers#post-344345 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 10:01:51 +0000 Mrsbells 344345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pelikila: Thats exactly what my husband said. He thinks this is the main reason we are having problems because some of the "teachers" are just so nonchalant about everything and dont follow our intructions, probably because they are planning to quit any minute </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turnover-for-daycare-workers#post-344344 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 10:00:44 +0000 Mrsbells 344344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: Yes in the beginning it was the same way, they kept moving the teachers to differen classes and then changing what shifts they worked. So there wasnt consistency and it made it harder for them to remember the different need of each child at certain times of the day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turnover-for-daycare-workers#post-344343 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 10:00:20 +0000 pelikila 344343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It should definitely be a question you ask. If they aren't investing/engaging their employees, why should their employees invest/engage your child? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turnover-for-daycare-workers#post-344339 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 09:58:36 +0000 autumnlove 344339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There hasn't been much turnover for the infant room. All of the teachers are the same as when we started daycare in April. One teacher will be leaving soon for maternity leave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turnover-for-daycare-workers#post-344335 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 09:56:26 +0000 T.H.O.U. 344335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are at a center and I think this is one of my #1 frustrations. Its not even turnover, its that they move teachers around so much! </p> <p>I think the infant room has had like 5 teachers and all new support since we started a year ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turnover-for-daycare-workers#post-344325 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 09:50:06 +0000 Mrsbells 344325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is the turnover like at your dacycare? One of the reasons I am moving my LO to a new daycare is that they have such high turnover where she is now. I keep seeing new faces every week! It makes it all the more frustrating to have to keep adjusting to new people and have to aways "teach" them all the specific things about my LO.<br /> I am going to see a new daycare today. Do you think its rude to ask them abou turnover? </p>
