The California ECE Workforce Study will survey approximately 7,000 early childhood educators from across the state: center directors, lead teachers, and assistants/aides; family child care providers; and TK teachers, paraprofessionals, assistants, and aides. Participation in the study will involve completing an online survey.

Depending on your role in early care and education, it should take you between 25 and 45 minutes to complete each survey. After completing the survey, you will be eligible to receive an incentive.

At the end of the first survey, we are asking all educators to indicate if they are interested in being contacted about future workforce study activities or educator engagement opportunities. Future study activities may include CSCCE surveys and focus groups to gather educators’ input and to reflect together on research findings.
