Abstract

Staff retention is critical in the early childhood education field. Directors are spending more and more time on this issue. This research reviews the challenge of inadequate staffing, defines the issue, and provides strategies for retaining staff. The research brings hiring practice, working conditions, staff training, and recognition to focus. It will do so through a literary review and compiled information from personal professional experiences. The objective of this research is to assist directors in improving hiring practices, working conditions, developing staff recognition plans, and improving staff training opportunities.
