Since 2022, the District of Columbia (DC) has implemented the Early Childhood Educator Pay Equity Fund (hereafter, "the fund"), which represents an innovative strategy for boosting the pay of early childhood educators to achieve pay parity between early childhood educators and their counterparts (Greenberg et al. 2023) and for supporting their work fostering children's development and learning in licensed child care settings. Research on the fund's FY 2022 and FY 2023 implementation showed that early educators receiving wage supplements experienced greater personal and professional well-being and thus were better able to focus on the needs of children in their care (Sandstrom et al. 2024). Beginning in FY 2024, child care programs voluntarily applied to be in the fund to receive operational funding to enhance the wages of educators to align with minimum salary schedules and offer competitive pay. By the end of FY 2024 (September 2024), 76 percent of eligible child care programs were participating in the fund (or 343 programs in all). This research summary presents new findings that further establish the role of the fund in promoting the supply of high-quality child care in DC. The authors present findings from two analyses. First, they analyze child care licensing data to compare participation trends in Capital Quality--DC's child care quality rating and improvement system--between programs that participated versus programs that did not participate in the fund in FY 2024. Because Capital Quality is a key lever through which DC makes investments in child care quality, examining Capital Quality participation and designations may be an important proxy for understanding how the fund is related to the supply of high-quality child care. Second, they analyze data from a voluntary web survey conducted in September-October 2024 with DC child care center directors, home-based child care providers, and early educators, about how the fund supports quality caregiving.
