In this report, we share findings from individual and small group interviews conducted in late 2022 and early 2023 with child care program directors in DC to learn about their recent experiences with enrollment and staffing amid the pandemic. We focus on the following questions to understand the challenges programs are facing and how to better support the supply of quality care in DC: 1. What are child care directors’ experiences with enrollment? 2. What are child care directors’ experiences hiring and retaining staff? Which positions are the easiest and most difficult to fill? 3. What strategies are child care directors implementing to recruit and retain qualified staff? 4. What supports do child care directors need to reach their enrollment and staffing goals?
