Managing Turnover

How We Keep Them

We believe that if you recruit the most talented and qualified teachers, ensure their ongoing satisfaction with their working environment and conditions, and pay them better than the competition, you will go far in reducing the turnover rate that is inherent to this industry.

Little Leprechaun maintains the lowest turnover rates in our industry. High turnover has a direct affect on children. New teachers coming and going hampers a child’s willingness to explore and try new things, stifles their ability to thrive, and prevents them from enjoying the emotional comfort that comes from a stable, trusted daily routine. We go to significant lengths to ensure our teachers are happy and satisfied with their career at Little Leprechaun Academy.

First and foremost, we treat our teachers as the professionals they are and show them the respect that a professional has earned. We do not treat any of our teachers as “babysitters”. In addition:

• We are an industry leader in teacher compensation
• We are an industry leader in teacher benefits
• We maintain strong lines of communication between management and staff
• Unlike many centers, Little Leprechaun invests in resources for our staff. We employ full‐time Assistant Directors who are tasked with ensuring teacher satisfaction, addressing staff issues and concerns, providing on‐going trainings and resource centers, and ensuring ongoing professional development.
• We provide a fun and professional atmosphere for the teachers
• We maintain valuable and fully‐stocked Teacher Resource Centers
• Regular staff outings foster a friendly work atmosphere and promote team‐building
• We provide comfortable, high‐quality, professional uniforms at no charge.
