... Brandon Prepared for the IOM Committee on the ECCE Workforce INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE The National Research Council and Institute of Medicine (IOM) convened a Committee on the Early Childhood Care and Education Workforce, which is charged with holding a workshop to provide a clear defi nition of who is included in that workforce and to explore major issues regarding how to support the workforce and improve the quality of services it provides.
From page 108...
... It is common to divide ECCE into three broad categories reflecting the type of setting in which care and instruction occur: center-based (including community-based centers, preschools, and Head Start programs) ; formal home-based or Family Child Care (FCC)
From page 109...
... 3 Much of this summary is based on new, unpublished tabulations of federal workforce data reflecting federal occupation and industry codes used by the BLS and the Census Bureau. We requested these data because the most recent nationally representative surveys of the ECCE workforce were conducted between 10 to 20 years ago.
From page 110...
... In addition, studies used different language to refer to child care workers. Some studies divided child care workers into teachers, assistant teachers, and aids.
From page 111...
... Within Tier I, the 1990 PCCS was the only study that was drawn from a nationally representative sample, covered child care workers for children birth through 5 years of age, and distinguished them from caregivers of school-aged children. It did not include the large FFN component of the workforce.
From page 112...
... Thus, they yield information about some groups of child care workers and early education teachers, but not all of them. Some of the data come from the HSIS, which was conducted from 2002–2006 and the Head Start: FACES surveys from 1997 through 2001.
From page 113...
... COUNTING THE ECCE WORKFORCE FOR CHILDREN AGE B–5, BY SETTING The only study that encompassed and distinguished the workforce responsible for children B–5 and included all settings (center-based, formal home-based, and informal home-based) was the HSPC demandbased estimate (Brandon et al., 2011)
From page 114...

From page 115...
... In the next major section of the paper, we summarize studies using Census data to provide additional characteristics. There are many challenges to using standard federal data from the BLS and the Census Bureau to describe the ECCE workforce, as discussed in Federal Data Sources for Understanding the Early Childhood Care and Education Workforce: A Background Paper, a second commissioned work
From page 116...
... Comparing BLS Employment Estimates to Demand-Based Estimates As seen in Table B-3A, BLS identified 1.8 million jobs, of which 1.3 million are classified as child care workers and 0.5 million as preschool teachers. The demand-based estimate exclusive of FFN caregivers was about 1.4 million.
From page 117...
... Child care workers are distributed across a wider range of economic sectors than preschool teachers. About 21 percent are in social assistance; 4 percent in health care, mostly residential facilities; 19 percent are in child day care services, such as community-based centers; 3 percent are in fitness and recreation centers, and 6 percent work for "religious, grantmaking, civic, professional, and similar organizations," which are presumably centers operated by such entities.

Thus, the overall number of jobs for child care workers plus preschool teachers is projected to grow about 13 percent over a decade from 2008 to 2018.
From page 122...
... Similarly, child day care employ ment in centers is projected to grow by 12 percent, but employment in fitness and recreation centers by 14 percent. The greatest projected growth -- 22 percent -- is for child care workers in the educational services sector; employment of preschool teachers in educational establishments is projected to grow by 10 percent.
From page 123...
... Thus, the data reflect a somewhat broader workforce definition than the B–5 focus of the ECCE committee, because child care workers (4600) include care for school-aged children and the private households industry code (9290)
From page 124...
... Detailed tables of characteristics of the ECCE workforce are available at http://www.iom.edu/Reports/2011/The-Early-Childhood-Care-andEducation-Workforce-Challenges-and-Opportunities.aspx. Demographic Characteristics: Age, Gender, Race/Ethnicity, Marital Status, Household Composition and Income Age of Workers According to previously unpublished tabulations based on data from the CPS and the ACS, the median age for child care workers ranges from 35 to 39 years.
From page 125...
... The child care workforce is predominately white and nonHispanic, with estimates ranging from 71 to 79 percent white for child care workers, 76 to 83 percent for preschool teachers, and 69 to 86 percent for FCC providers. A large minority of FCC providers (36 to 40 percent)
From page 126...
... and could not be distinguished from kindergarten teachers.6 As Table B-7 shows, when averaging data from 2005 through 2007, the estimates for the race/ethnicity of child care workers are similar to those above. The percentage of child care workers who are white (75.9 percent)
From page 127...
... The mean household income for a preschool teacher in 2004 was TABLE B-8 Marital Status of Child Care Workers, 2007 Type and N Studies Child Care Workers Married (%)
From page 128...
... However, few of the national studies, except those focused on preschool, restricted their samples to child care workers for B–5 children. The estimates summarized in Table B-10A come from provided tabulations of Current Population Survey data, which includes caregivers for school-aged children.
From page 129...
... However, preschool teachers in these studies come from samples based on state-sponsored programs, so it is likely that they have higher education levels than other prekindergarten teachers. Education levels were lower for child care workers and FCC providers.
From page 130...
... As of 2001, 12 percent of preschool teachers had obtained an associate's degree in ECE, 31 percent obtained a bachelor's in ECE, and 13 percent obtained an advanced degree in ECE. The percentage of prekindergarten teachers who obtained a child development associate (CDA)
From page 131...
... ECCE Experience Across studies, child care workers reported having an average of 4 to 5 years of work experience in the ECCE field, while preschool teachers had an average of 7 to 12 years of experience. Head Start teachers had spent an average of 8 to 9 years teaching in Head Start classrooms.
From page 132...
... Many child care workers are also employed in school-based or school-related programs, which only operate about 9 months of the year. Enrollment at community-based child care centers drops substan tially in the summer as parents take vacations and move houses; some staff takes vacation, others are temporarily not employed.
From page 133...
... Benefits A major economic consideration for ECCE workforce is access to retirement and health benefits. In this section we summarize previously unpublished data from the 2010 National Compensation Survey provided specifically for this study.9 As for other BLS data, we note that Child Care Workers and Child Day Care Services includes school-aged as well as ECCE workers.
From page 134...

Preschool teachers slightly exceed the national average, with 75 TABLE B-16A Percentage of Civilian Workers with Access to Employer-Provided Health Insurance Child Day Care Elementary Services and Child and Elementary All Day Care Secondary and Secondary Industries Services Schools Schools All workers (in all 74 49 88 84 occupations) Child care workers 38 31 60 39 and preschool teachers, except special education Child care workers 31 26 47 31 Preschool teachers, 63 64 90 75 except special education SOURCE: BLS National Compensation Survey, 2010.
From page 135...
... Access varies greatly between workers in the community-based child day care services industry, for which access is 31 percent, and elementarysecondary schools, which have 60 percent access. Even within the schools, 90 percent of preschool teachers have access to health benefits, compared to 47 percent of child care workers.
From page 136...
... For child care workers, 18 percent out of the 30 percent with access participate, and for preschool teachers all of the 47 percent with access participate. Combining all ECCE workers -- child care

From page 138...
... Preschool teachers in schools receive about 20 percent lower retirement benefits -- $2.69 per hour worked -- which is still much higher than preschool teachers in non-school settings. Other Employment According to CPS data, a small percentage of child care workers (5 percent)
From page 139...
... National studies have generally showed annual job turnover rates to be about one-third of child care workers and 19 to 39 percent of teachers. Data from California, gathered as part of the 1994–2000 study, Then and Now: Changes in Childcare Staffing, indicate that job turnover between 1999 and 2000 for all teaching staff was about 32 percent and occupational turnover was about 16 percent.

... The descriptions of the NAICS and SOC are followed by a discussion of issues these classifications present for ECCE workforce analysis. Additional issues concerning BLS and Census data (referred to as the "standard data sources")
From page 172...
... Depending on their products or activities, all establishments in an enterprise may be classified in one industry, or they may be classified in different industries. In the ECCE context, establishments include child care centers, schools, private homes, and any other type of establishment where ECCE services are provided.
From page 173...
... To ensure that occupational data from across the federal statistical system are comparable and can be used together in analysis, OMB has established the Standard Occupational Classification, or SOC.13 The 2010 SOC is a tiered system with four levels, ranging from 23 major groups to 840 detailed occupations. Each worker is classified into only one of the detailed occupations based on the tasks he or she performs.
From page 174...
... Principle 1 does this by specifying that the SOC covers all work performed for pay or profit, and specifying that occupations unique to volunteer work are not included. In the ECCE context, the SOC is used to classify workers who provide early childhood care and instruction and who receive wage or salary pay or self-employment income for providing these services.
From page 175...
... Thus, for a detailed occupation to be included in the SOC, either the Bureau of Labor Statistics or the Census Bureau must be able to collect and report data on that occupation. SOURCE: Standard Occupational Classification Manual 2010, Office of Management and Budget.
From page 176...
... For example, a lead teacher who teaches preschool but also supervises other preschool teachers would be classified in one of the two preschool teaching occupations: 25-2011 Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education, or 25-5051 Special Education Teachers, Preschool. Classification of supervisors of teachers is different from how supervisors of child care workers are classified.
From page 177...
... Whether this worker is classified with 39-1021 First-line Supervisors of Personal Care Workers or with 39-9011 Childcare Workers should depend on the amount of time spent supervising versus providing care.
From page 178...
... The 2010 SOC includes the occupations where workers who provide care or instruction to the B–5 population are classified, as well as relevant education administrators and the supervisors of child care workers. (See Table B-21.)
From page 179...
... The SOC distinguishes 25-2011 Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education from 39-9011 Child Care Workers based on the work activities performed, which are described in the occupational definitions in Table B-21. Generally, the distinction is that Preschool Teachers provide instruction while Child Care Workers perform tasks other than instruction.

... As to the issue of services according to the age of the children served, only the description for NAICS 624410 Child Day Care Services references preschool age children, which is likely the dominant population served by establishments classified here. The illustrative examples for this industry, shown in Table B-22, suggest this may be the case: Child day care babysitting services, Nursery schools, Child or infant day care centers, and Preschool centers.
From page 184...
... In general, household surveys provide less occupational and industry detail than establishment surveys, because there is less information avail able for assigning classification codes. An important example of this limitation is SOC 25-2011 Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education.

... and the economic relationship between the FCC proprietor and the customer, who pays the proprietor directly or creates an arrangement for payment through a third party, such as voucher program. In practice, however, the standard establishment and household surveys do not distinguish home-based formal settings from other formal settings, such as centerbased care.
From page 187...
... Officers of incorporated businesses -- in this case, proprietors of incorporated home-based businesses -- are generally considered paid employees.20 These establishments would be classified according to the services provided, probably in NAICS 624410 Child Day Care Services, and would be in the universe for BLS establishment surveys. Proprietors are relevant only for FCC and not for FFN care.
From page 188...
... To code the industry and occupation responses, the Census Bureau maintains industry and occupation title indexes.23 For the industry questions, responses such as "child care" and "day care" are coded to the Census industry equivalent of NAICS 624410 Child Day Care Services. Census coding procedures may use occupational responses to aid in coding the industry.
