On average, turnover for people in early childhood education jobs is high.

Community-based and Head Start centers tended to experience higher rates of turnover across job roles in comparison to public school-based programs. When teachers left, they most often left the field altogether, left to obtain a higher paying teaching job, or left to stay at home with their families.
