I agree,  i think you need a good balance,  take people with the right
attitude and who are good with children and reward them with training
and good pay after time and training if need be. Surely pay should
reflect,  experience,  responsibility,  and training undertaken,  make
those things worth gaining and reward people that do,  the longer you
stay at one location then you develop in to a good team,  when you move
on you take all that with you and hopefully improve how things.

I think it will get worse,  bad or very bad things will happen,  
lessons will be learned and the same thing will keep happening over
again.   When it is too late something will happen either that or the
talent will go out of the country to places where that talent is valued.
