These four executive summaries report the results of an annual survey of child care centers conducted in Nova Scotia (Canada) from 1990 through 1993. Between 20 and 45 centers participated in the surveys. Centers were questioned about the following: (1) size and location; (2) for-profit or non-profit status; (3) teacher, teacher-directors, and administrator salaries; (4) teacher ages; (5) staff turnover; (6) teacher education level; (7) staff fringe benefits; (8) working conditions; and (9) provisions for sick and special needs children. The 1990 survey also questioned centers about waiting lists, the use of volunteers, and tuition. Results indicated that the average Nova Scotia early childhood teacher is female, between 20 and 29 years old, and has attained a post-secondary certificate or diploma in early childhood education. She works an average of 38 to 39 hours per week, 49 to 50 weeks per year. Salaries range from 5.27 to 7.09 dollars per hour, depending on the for-profit or nonprofit status of the center and the teacher's length of employment. Profiles for average teacher-director and administrative director were similar, except for slightly higher salaries, slightly longer hours, and, for the administrative director, a university degree. Teacher turnover in the centers surveyed was about 30 percent, with most teachers leaving voluntarily. (MDM)
