Public Health Insider | System Overload: Building a Trained and Stable Child Care Workforce
The barriers that face families trying to access affordable and accessible child care is an increasing reality.
Access to affordable and accessible child care is becoming increasingly difficult for hard-working, young families — especially for middle and low-income families and within communities of color. Fortunately, faculty from OSU are finding innovative ways to break barriers and address the needs of Oregon’s early childhood educators and children. Thankfully, faculty from the OSU College of Public Health and Human Sciences and the Hallie E. Ford Center for Healthy Children and Families are doing something about it.
Megan Pratt and Bridget Hatfield from the College of Public Health and Human Sciences, and Megan McClelland of the Hallie E. Ford Center for Healthy Children, explain how they are working toward supporting and training early childhood educators thanks to a $14.4 million grant to establish the Early Learning System Initiative (ELSI). Also, learn how they are partnering to help provide child care solutions that work for parents, help children thrive, and meet the diverse needs of Oregon’s early educator workforce.
