Description:
With funding from the Division of Child Development and Early Education, through a Race to the Top Early Learning Challenge Grant, Child Care Services Association (CCSA) conducted a statewide survey of the early care and education workforce in North Carolina from March 2013 through January 2014. This study provides comprehensive data on early care and education teachers, assistant teachers and directors and on the licensed early care and education centers in which they work. Licensed centers include programs operated by public schools, for-profit entities and not-for-profit entities, including Head Start. Unlike last year, this study did not include licensed family child care homes. Additional information from a similar study conducted by CCSA in 2011 is also provided. Comparison of the data from these two surveys enables readers to learn about the continuities and changes in the early care and education (ECE) system and workforce that may have occurred over this two year interval of 2011-2013. This report also references data from the 2001 and 2003 workforce studies to provide a perspective on changes over a longer period of time. (author abstract)
