How are child care workers and programs doing right now? - Winter 2025

To all individuals working in the early care and education (ECE) field, thank you for taking the time to complete this quick survey! We know how challenging your work continues to be. You may have completed surveys in the past but it is important for us to collect this information in an on-going way so we can describe the continuing challenges and opportunities facing providers. Your individual experiences are important, and your collective voices are helping to shape our nation’s up-to-the-minute understanding of what is happening in child care and early learning across states and settings. Your input is critical.

To see results from past NAEYC surveys, you can visit: https://www.naeyc.org/ece-workforce-surveys.

This survey is a quick pulse check, and should take you about 10-15 minutes to complete. Thank you for answering all the questions you can, to the best of your ability.

We see you, and are working hard for you. Thank you for all you do, each and every day.

If you'd like to be entered into a raffle for a $100 gift card, please enter your email address at the end of the survey.
