In Spring 2025, the Center
for the Study of Child Care Employment (CSCCE) will be
surveying early educators in California. This will be a baseline
survey designed to reach a representative sample of center- and
home-based sites at the state and regional levels. CSCCE
is inviting counties to join in this round of data collection for
an oversample of their local Early Childhood Education (ECE)
workforce (family child care providers, center
directors, and center teachers/assistants). CSCCE will produce a
county-specific profile. This data can then be used for
local planning purposes, including informing county needs
assessments.
Each participating county will receive a three-part profile
similar to the statewide profiles from 2020:*
Enrollment and staffing levels (include vacancies and
turnover)
Program operations and financial stability
*CSCCE will likely use a different layout for the data in the
2025 profiles, but the topics and content will be very similar to
the statewide example (for instance, demographics,
education/experience, and so forth).
Counties must make a “soft commitment” to participate by
November 27, 2024. Additional information on how
counties can sign up, the project timeline, and the costs for
counties to participate can be
accessed here.
