Director, Passionate Montessori & Nature-based Educator, Educational Advocate, Consultant, and Curriculum Coordinator
Let's Talk about Childcare. Why is it so hard to find and why is it even harder to find staff? Even though it is fundamental to our economy and a crucial investment in our children’s futures, Early Childhood Education has been persistently underfunded and ECE educators have been denied a living wage. We must highlight the importance of adequate pay for early childhood teacher retention. Denying ECE educators a living wage affects their well-being and the well-being of their families. Insufficient compensation also poses challenges for providing quality ECE and plays a role in the high turnover rate for early childhood educators. https://lnkd.in/e95f3gxn
