Description:
In September 2006, the Children's Forum completed a workforce study of early care and education (ECE) providers in Seminole County. From this Phase I study, we learned a great deal about the demographics, tenure and turnover rates, wages, benefits, working conditions, and training participation of this workforce. The current Phase II study represents the next step in this process, focusing on issues of recruitment, training, and retention of Seminole County's ECE providers. Through surveys and interviews with child care center (CCC) teachers, family child care home (FCCH) teachers, former teachers, and child care center directors, we learned about the factors affecting recruitment, training, and retention, and the interplay among these elements.
