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…




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…
