Marin County Center-Based Early Care & Education Workforce Study 2019

This report examines the demographic, educational, and employment characteristics (including compensation and benefits) of staff employed in center-based ECE [early care and education] programs throughout Marin County. The findings bring attention to the low wages and economic insecurity of the ECE workforce, particularly against a backdrop of one of the highest costs of living in the country. Key findings include high churn of teaching staff and a diverse workforce stratified by job role. The data were also examined by program type, participation in QRIS, and funding source. This report is an extension of the SEQUAL [Supportive Environmental Quality Underlying Adult Learning] Marin County study, "Teachers' Voices: Work Environment Conditions That Impact Teacher Practice and Program Quality--Marin County" (ED603012). [This report was supported by the Marin County Office of Education.]
