Are you an experienced #ECE or #lowwage researcher with a passion for social justice? CSCCE at UC Berkeley is hiring a Senior Research and Policy Associate! Learn more and please share. ow.ly/AbnP50F0ERI



New analysis by CSCCE at UC Berkeley finds child care jobs returned at slower pace than other jobs held by women: they're at just 88% of what they were in February 2020 & some cities are seeing employment in ECE begin to fall yet again. (1/3) cscce.berkeley.edu/child-care-sec…

This reinforces finding of an economic analysis by @ChrisMHerbst & Jessica H. Brown that I reported on below--the child care sector recovers more slowly from economic downturns than comparable sectors. Funding it as a public good is one way to protect it. 2/3 bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

New from CSCCE at UC Berkeley: California #earlyeducators have worked in the sector for more than a decade, on average, regardless of provider type. Most have earned a college degree. Read our latest data snapshot ow.ly/Epyt50HOWlr #ECE

Roughly one-third of #CA family #childcare providers and center teachers lacked quality or nutritional food, according to a new CSCCE at UC Berkeley report that shows how #COVID-19 worsened the economic well-being of #earlyeducators. bit.ly/3uPUmXa

New CSCCE at UC Berkeley research shows that few #CA #earlyeducators have retirement. This on top of poverty wages! The #ECE staff shortage will continue until we have public investment. Read more at cscce.berkeley.edu/blog/californi…



Enough with calling the work of #childcare professionals “a labor of love.”#Earlychildhood educators rightly find satisfaction in their work. But satisfaction doesn’t replace a living wage. A fulfilling career path and feeding one’s family are not mutually exclusive. Ask doctors.

We're honored! CSCCE at UC Berkeley's Marcy Whitebook is in the illustrious collection of UC Berkeley women staff & alumni (she's both!)- next to Chancellor Carol Christ! Hint: Use her last name to search for her entry. edge.berkeley.edu/150w-database/ #strongwomen #leadership #earlyeducators

New from CSCCE at UC Berkeley: First comprehensive report on #CA TK teacher experiences! Only 40% of TK teachers think their school community understands developmentally appropriate practices for working with 4 year-old-children. ow.ly/9Cso50LWJtq


What do many models of high quality child care have in common? Direct government funding. For The Atlantic, I explain why it's beyond time for the U.S. to resurrect its long lost goal of public child care. theatlantic.com/family/archive…

illuminating new project by CSCCE at UC Berkeley tells the story of the U.S. early childhood education system, documenting its origins in the 1800s & child care activism through the years with archival materials including rare audio and video clips cscce.berkeley.edu/projects/echoe…
