Evaluation of R.E.E.T.A.I.N., Minnesota's child care workforce retention program: Final report

This study presents findings from an evaluation of Retaining Early Educators through Attaining Incentives Now (R.E.E.T.A.I.N.), a financial bonus program designed to improve workforce retention among highly trained child care professionals in Minnesota. Results from the study help inform recommendations regarding how the program can better support the child care workforce. (author abstract)
