This fact sheet is provided by the 4-C Worker Outreach Project in an effort to increase awareness of day care working conditions in Dane County, Wisconsin. Areas covered in the fact sheet are (1) staff wages and benefits; (2) educational background of day care staff; and (3) staff retention and turnover. Data were obtained from 58 full-day and 37 part-day centers, representing approximately 600 child care workers in the county. The information about wages and benefits may be useful in decision making and career planning, and may serve as a basis for continued discussion of the role staff wages and benefits play in the pursuit of quality child care and in the upgrading of the profession of the early childhood educator.
