“Early educators have been tasked with providing high-quality care, and for many, this means advancing their education through degrees and professional training. For so many in the field, this leads to student loans and the burden of debt. Educators deserve to have clear information, adequate financial support, and career incentives to pursue higher education. Only then will the field retain passionate and qualified teachers to shape the lives of young children.”
