Kansas Early Childhood Care & Education Workforce Study Results
As part of the implementation of the Kansas Career Pathway for Early Childhood Care and Education workforce, KCCTO undertook the Kansas Early Childhood Care and Education Comprehensive Workforce Survey to establish a baseline understanding of Kansas’s ECCE workforce. We were particularly interested in learning from both the professionals who make up the current workforce and those who left the field. To that end, data was collected from both current and former professionals in the Kansas ECCE workforce. The 2024 Kansas ECCE Comprehensive Workforce Study represents the voices of nearly 6,000 early childhood care and education professionals from all 105 counties in Kansas. Members of the ECCE workforce shared their lived experiences by completing an online survey and participating in focus groups.
A series of in-depth reports will continue to roll-out and be featured below.
