Policymakers and researchers have focused attention on the significant role that directors play in building and sustaining high-quality child care programs. However, there has been limited focus on director turnover and its implications for programs. This article summarizes findings from the longitudinal study, "Then and Now: Changes in Child Care Staffing, 1994-2000," and addresses the following issues: (1) the extent to which centers undergo changes in administrative staff over time; (2) the relationship between director and teacher instability; (3) characteristics of programs associated with director and staff turnover; and (4) strategies for addressing turnover among all staff.
