Abstract	Throughout the field of early care and education, it has been generally recognized that the quality of services, and their benefits for young children, are closely intertwined with the qualifications, stability and compensation of the teaching and caregiving workforce. But in the absence of substantial gains in compensation for this profession, the difficulty of attracting and retaining skilled and well-qualified teachers has remained a persistent, often crisis-level problem for decades. This policy brief is intended as a starting point for this discussion, laying out the complexities that must be grappled with in order for solutions to emerge. Among other opportunities, preschool planning has the potential to move the field at last from explaining "why" to improve compensation to resolving "how" to improve it. (Contains 2 figures.)
