Child Care Aware of ND is hoping that providers will participate in a University of North Dakota Early Childhood Educators Survey!

Investment in early childhood education matters and you can help. My name is Beth Heyne and I am an EdD graduate student at the University of North Dakota. Additionally, I have been working in the field for over a decade and am currently a preschool director. Early childhood educators have a great responsibility in providing tomorrow's leaders with opportunities to grow and develop in safe, enriching environments.

The goal of this study is to inform leadership practices regarding the challenges and supports that early childhood educators experience so that educators, like yourself, will feel supported to sustain professional engagement in this critical field.

By participating, you will help advance knowledge in the field and support better practices. If you are interested in helping, please follow this link https://und.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bOgKBtPQ6gZyUBg to take a few minutes to answer the survey questions. Responses are collected anonymously.

Child Care Aware® of America is seeking feedback from child care providers, in the format of short video recordings, on how they’ve used this funding to support their employees, including themselves. The videos produced for this project will be shared with providers nationwide on the Child Care Aware of America®  American Rescue Plan hub page. Videos may be used elsewhere on their website, in presentations and meetings, and in our social media campaigns as we advocate for additional funding for child care. Providers can record these on their own time following the prompts provided. To help support this project, please use this link to record a two-minute video on how you have used the Stabilization Grants. The deadline to submit videos is October 7, 2022
