A young child needs to feel emotionally attached to a caregiver (usually the mother) in order to have a strong trusting bond. With this secure attachment comes a conscience and the child learns to be empathetic and caring. A child with rotating caregivers (such as in daycare) has less chance to develop this trust, regardless of how 'high quality' the care is. When a worker leaves her daycare position, the child does not have the capacity to understand why their caregiver left them. The trust that the child was developing is broken. This can be traumatizing to a child and they may have a difficult time processing it.
