Introduction

A Series of Briefs from the TEACH Early Childhood® National Center at Early Years

More than ever before, federal, state and local policymakers and the public recognize the need for high-quality, affordable, and accessible child care that depends on an educated, well-compensated early childhood workforce. Likewise, the TEACH Early Childhood ® National Center is the hub of a network of TEACH Early Childhood® and Child Care WAGE$® Initiatives across the country. The Center licenses statewide early childhood non-profit organizations to administer TEACHand/or WAGE$. Through our technical assistance and quality assurance program, we support our state partners and ensure all state projects are accountable, effective and high performing.
