Early Childhood Educator INCENTIVE$, an affiliate of Child Care WAGE$, rewards early childhood educators with financial incentives based on their education and continuity of employment.
By retaining the early childhood workforce, INCENTIVE$ provides children with more stable relationships and better-educated teachers. INCENTIVE$ addresses individual professional development efforts and low wages but does not affect budgets, regular wages, or parent fees within the child care program.
INCENTIVE$ is licensed by Child Care Services Association of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and administered by the Children’s Forum under a contract with local early learning coalitions, children’s services councils, and private contributors.
Through these partnerships, INCENTIVE$ is enhancing professional development of early childhood educators in the state of Florida to improve the quality of care and education for the children in their classrooms.
