Stronger Workforce

The quality of early care and education programs and the strongest outcomes for young children depend on a diverse and qualified workforce that is adequately compensated and supported. These dedicated individuals play an integral role in fostering children’s learning. Their interactions and the enriching, nurturing learning environments they create are fundamental to achieving positive outcomes for every child.
