With the recent reauthorization of the Child Care Development Block Grant and increased media focus, early care and education has gained attention and prioritization from parents, communities, funders, and politicians. However, comparatively little research has been conducted in Iowa, specifically on a statewide level, on exactly what and who the programs and staff charged with caring for our young citizens each day look like. With funding from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation and in partnership with Iowa Association for the Education of Young Children (Iowa AEYC), Child Care Services Association (CCSA) conducted a statewide survey of the early care and education workforce in Iowa from January 2016 through July 2016. This study provides comprehensive data on directors and the licensed early care and education programs in which they work. The study further provides some basic information about teachers and assistant teachers in these programs. (author abstract)
