Description:
Summary: This report describes the racial/ethnic composition of teachers in child care centers and school-based early childhood education (ECE) programs participating in Virginia's Preschool Development Grant Birth through Five initiative. - Lead teachers in school-based ECE programs are 30 percentage points more likely to be White than lead teachers in child care centers. - In school-based ECE programs, Black and Hispanic women are much more likely to serve as assistant rather than lead teachers, and are particularly underrepresented in leadership roles. - Black children are about three times more likely to have a Black teacher in a child care center as they are in a school-based ECE program.
