Center for the Study of Childcare Employment

In partnership, the Center for the Study of Child Care Employment (CSCCE) at the University of California at Berkeley and the California Child Care Resource and Referral Network (Network) have gathered this information to help Merced County policymakers and planners assess current demand at teacher training institutions; plan for further investments in early childhood teacher preparation; and gain a baseline for measuring progress toward attaining a well-educated ECE workforce whose ethnic and linguistic diversity reflects that of Merced County’s children and families.

This report contains study findings for licensed family child care providers in Merced County.
