Early Childhood Education Initiatives for Raising Program Quality
Research has shown that early childhood education offered by qualified early care educators produces better child outcomes -- improved long-term intellectual, emotional, and physical health. Research has also shown that many early childhood education professionals leave the field because they lack financial incentives, a livable salary, and recognition for their work. Yolanda Garcia, Director of the E3 Institute of WestEd’s Center for Child and Family Studies, will provide an overview of an exceptional demonstration project in Santa Clara County, California. The Compensation and Retention Encourage Stability (CARES) program links educational attainment, professional development, and longevity in the field to financial incentives in order to improve the stability of the childcare workforce. Participants will also learn more about E3 Institute’s Power of Preschool program, which provides high-quality, voluntary preschool programs to assist children in becoming personally, socially, and physically competent, effective learners, who are ready to transition into kindergarten.
