Improving the compensation and retention of effective infant/toddler educators in Rhode Island: Recommendations of the Moving the Needle on Compensation Task Force

Share
Description:

In response to ongoing challenges identified by programs that struggle to attract, develop, and retain effective infant/toddler professionals, the Rhode Island Association for the Education of Young Children and Rhode Island KIDS COUNT co-chaired a Task Force to develop strategies to improve compensation across child care, Early Intervention, and family home visiting. This cross-sector Task Force consisted of representatives from state, community, and private partners. The Task Force met eight times to review national guidance and effective practices in other states and to develop these recommendations, which are summarized below. These recommendations provide significant opportunity for many leaders in the public and private sectors to contribute to the development of an appropriate compensation approach for the infant/toddler workforce that provides critical child development supports through child care, Early Intervention, and family home visiting.
