8. The teacher turnover is giving “musical chairs.”
I brought this one up myself, because I’ve seen it firsthand—classrooms with a new face every week. Sherri offered a fresh perspective.
“Sometimes, high turnover is a good thing,” she said. “It might mean the provider cares enough to remove someone who doesn’t belong around your child.”
The real red flag? If things go unaddressed. Sherri says parents should ask what the center does to support and retain good staff. Do they build community? Offer mentorship? That matters. When providers don’t explain, don’t acknowledge, or don’t have standards to begin with. Ask about staff culture, support, and how the team is developed over time.
