In this brief, we present information on the characteristics, qualifications, and compensation of teachers caring for and educating America’s youngest children—infant-toddler teachers in child care centers. We use restricted-use data from the 2019 National Survey of Early Care and Education (NSECE), a nationally representative sample of child care centers, center-based classroom staff, and home-based child care providers (NSECE Project Team 2013b). In our analysis, we identify infant-toddler teachers as early educators working in child care centers with children younger than age 3. We conduct descriptive analyses to examine their demographic characteristics, educational attainment and work experience, and compensation and benefits. We compare them with early educators in child care centers working with children ages 3 through 5 (who we refer to as “preschoolers”) and with listed home-based child care providers caring for at least one child younger than age 3. We also note observed differences between lead and assistant infant-toddler teachers. In our analyses, we examine pay equity among early educators, building off previous research on this topic.
