From the Paper:

"Each of the above stated goals will be achieved by hiring qualified competent managers and educator. In addition, regular meetings between managers and employees to ensure goal are achieved within the set time frames.
"Hiring qualified managers and educator is instrumental to achieving the goals of the center. A national ten-year study on child care turnover found that higher wages, educational preparedness of the staff and low turnover rates were the main difference between centers that succeeded and those that did not (Children Now 2001). Additionally, on average, child care educators and professionals earn 70 percent less than public school educator at the same educational level (Children Now 2001). Because The Village has a lower overhead cost than other centers, due to the land and building donation by HP, The Village can offer higher salaries to potential educators and professionals. These higher salaries will attract quality educators and child care professionals. In addition, The Village will also be able to set higher standards for educators that are hired."
