Early care and education (ECE) programs provide nurturing environments for young children--and the learning environments of children simultaneously serve as the work environments of early educators. In Stanislaus County, there are approximately 330 family child care home (FCCH) providers who own and operate licensed, home-based programs and approximately 125 child care centers serving children from birth through age five. Centers include sites funded by Head Start or State Preschool, centers enrolling children with child care subsidies, and centers enrolling children with no public funding, either as nonprofit or for-profit entities. Building on the California Early Care and Education Workforce Study, this report provides a snapshot of the state of the licensed ECE workforce in Stanislaus County. Chapter 1 offers a profile of its core members: FCCH educators and center-based teachers and assistants. Chapter 2 describes the state of early educator well-being. Chapter 3 explores stability for center- and home-based programs and for professionals in the field. [This report was supported by the Stanislaus County Office of Education.]
