Responses to "Intention to Leave, Anticipated Reasons for Leaving, and 12-Month Turnover of Child Care Center Staff."
Whitehead, Linda; Russell, Susan
Early Childhood Research Quarterly, v12 n2 p169-72 1997

The second strategy advocates continuing education opportunities, special mentoring programs, and bonuses or raises paid early in the employment cycle. (Author/SD)
