| Abstract: |
Every day, thousands of early care and education (ECE) professionals open their doors. Drawing on a combination of training, experience, and passion, these workers provide children with vibrant learning experiences from birth through at least age five. Building on the California Early Care and Education Workforce Study, this report provides a snapshot of the state of the ECE sector in Central California. In particular, it reports data on five counties: Fresno, Kings, Madera, Sutter, and Yuba. Chapter 1 offers a profile of the core members of the ECE workforce in Central California: home-based family child care (FCC) providers and center-based educators (directors, lead teachers, and assistant teachers). Chapter 2 looks at the state of early educator well-being in the region. Chapter 3 describes program- or site-level characteristics of the sector, and Chapter 4 examines the stability of programs. [This report was funded by the Kings County Office of Education, Madera County Superintendent of Schools, and the Child Care Planning Council of Yuba and Sutter Counties.] |
