Description:
This article lays out the case that the early care and education industry was in crisis in Minnesota prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has exacerbated the challenges it faces. A workforce pipeline that does not produce enough candidates for programs to meet basic health and safety needs in Minnesota and the resulting compromised quality of, and access to, care all point to a need for fundamental changes in the industry and its funding mechanisms.
