my 5 year old nomad

Does anyone know if staying away from home affects a kindergarten child's development? My grand daughter spends Friday and Saturday at her aunt's house, Saturday night and Sunday at her Dad's house, a week night or two at her Grandma's house, and the remaining time with her mom at her mom's new boyfriend's house. This has been happening since birth.
I am concerned that she doesn't feel a sense security and a place she can call home. Her K teacher has indicated that she has self-esteem/self-confidence issues and I believe, perhaps, that traveling around like a nomad and livign out of a duffle bag is why.
Does anyone have any experience in this area?
