Abstract	This summary describes how an early childhood workforce investment credit, modeled after the Louisiana school readiness tax credit, rewards professional development for child care providers and can foster the quality early childhood education (ECE) workforce necessary to promote children's learning and school readiness. Quality child care matters for children's healthy development, early learning, and safety. The quality of child care is directly related to the quality of the workforce. Low compensation for the child care workforce makes it hard to attract and retain quality staff. Low compensation makes it difficult for the current workforce to access the training and higher education necessary to acquire the knowledge and competencies for delivering high-quality care.
