Abstract	In the past decade, various stakeholders in the public and private sectors in Hawai'i have sought to increase the state's investment in child care and early learning programs. A new Executive Office of Early Learning was established in June 2012 to build a statewide early childhood development and learning system. The state also established a publicly funded preschool program in 2013-2014 with the eventual aim of universal access for all 3- and 4-year-olds. At the same time, like other states, Hawai'i has struggled to ensure that it has a well-prepared and well-compensated early care and education (ECE) workforce commensurate with this vision. Through a contract with the Research Corporation of the University of Hawai'i, this RAND Corporation report is intended to provide analytic support for the ECE Project's compensation and financing strategy by (1) documenting the landscape for the ECE workforce in the state in terms of compensation, working conditions, and professional development and (2) identifying policy options for addressing challenges in these areas. In an effort to expand understanding of the ECE workforce and develop a road map for the future, the study brings together previous data and research; new data collected by the RAND team through interviews, focus groups, and a survey; and case studies. [This report was sponsored by the University of Hawaii at Manoa, College of Education.] (ERIC).
