Abstract | This brief summarizes early educators' experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, including changes in employment and wages, supports they received, and challenges they faced. The findings come from a survey of early educators working in licensed child care facilities in the District of Columbia in early 2021. The survey is part of the larger DC Child Care Policy Research Partnership study with DC's Office of the State Superintendent of Education. This brief is part of a series sharing other survey findings, including virtual training experiences during the pandemic, job satisfaction and workplace culture, and perspectives on DC's new quality rating and improvement system. Four key findings from the survey are discussed: (1) Many licensed child care facilities physically closed at the onset of the pandemic, yet one year later most had reopened; (2) Most respondents were back to work at the time of the survey, although closures had been widespread and the COVID-19 vaccine was not yet universally available; (3) Some early educators lost work hours and job earnings during the pandemic; and (4) Some early education programs did not pay certain employees during pandemic closures.
