ECE Center Challenges

High Turnover

Small Scale

Overextended

Funding for ECE is limited, but the problem isn’t just money; it’s how we spend those limited dollars.

  • High administrative spending limits workforce investment
  • Time spent on administrative tasks prevents time for high quality ECE
  • Limited time makes it difficult for directors to serve as pedagogical leaders
