The Early Childhood Educator Pay Equity Fund is a promising initiative for increasing the wages of early childhood educators in the District of Columbia (DC) to achieve pay parity between early childhood educators and their counterparts in K-12 schools. Since October 2023, DC's Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) has distributed funding to child care programs that agree to enhance their educators' wages to align with the minimum salaries established in statute. This research summary used data from OSSE's comprehensive licensing system for all licensed child care staff and programs--the Division of Early Learning Licensing Tool (DELLT)--to establish new evidence on employment patterns among child care educators in DC. Person-level administrative data was leveraged to estimate educator turnover in FY 2024 and explore how increased compensation in the current employer-based structure has promoted stability for DC's child care workforce. Staff records and licensing data on 305 child care centers that operated from 2023 to 2024 were analyzed to document year-over-year turnover rates, and interviews with 20 center directors were conducted from December 2024 to February 2025. It was found that 64 percent of educators maintained employment at the same licensed child care center, and when educators left their jobs, most left the DC child care field altogether whereas just under one quarter left for a job in another DC child care center. Educators' employment patterns over this period indicated a preference for employment at centers receiving funding to implement wage enhancements. This highlights the potential of the Pay Equity Fund to help centers stabilize their workforce by enabling them to offer higher wages, particularly among centers serving children with subsidies.
