The Center for the Study of Child Care Employment (CSCCE) at the University of California, Berkeley, is assisting the New Jersey Council for Young Children (Council) in collecting and analyzing information about the state's early learning professional preparation and development system. The project consists of two phases: a Mapping Phase and a Quality Assessment Phase. As part of the Quality Assessment, the Council asked the CSCCE to investigate the early childhood higher education opportunities available to the state's early learning work force. The Early Childhood Higher Education Inventory (Inventory) was designed to gain a clearer picture of the early childhood offerings in a state's higher education system. The Inventory describes the landscape of the state's early childhood degree programs, focusing on variations in program content, child age-group focus, student field-based learning, and faculty characteristics. This information allows the Council and other stakeholders to identify the gaps and opportunities in the available offerings and to assess the capacity of the higher education system over time. This document presents the Inventory findings. This report begins with a description of the number and types of degree programs across the state, followed by highlights from the Program and Faculty Modules. The Highlights are followed by recommendations for addressing the challenges identified in the findings and for building on promising practices. The appendices describe the Inventory methodology and present supplementary tables for both the Program and Faculty Modules.
