Abstract: Noting a growing consensus that inadequate compensation contributes to turnover among child care teachers and providers, and undermines the quality of services available to children through the state of California, this report presents compensation guidelines developed as a means for Title 5 child care centers and others in California to assess their staff compensation packages. Following an executive summary, the report details the reasons for developing compensation guidelines, outlines the history of compensation initiatives in California, and delineates guiding principles for the development of the guidelines. The report also presents the Child Development Permit Matrix, a career ladder for teachers and administrators in Title 5 programs, articulating the minimal and alternative educational and training requirements for the array of positions within a child care center, and providing the foundation for the salary guidelines. The Self-Sufficiency Standard details self-sufficiency wages for a range of family sizes and compositions for each county in California. The report then explains the structure of the compensation guidelines, details challenges and resources for implementing the guidelines, describes initiatives for gaining statewide support for the guidelines, and discusses ways to adapt the guidelines for individual communities. The report's six appendices include information on creating and revising salary schedules, model benefits for teaching staff in center-based child care, and a worksheet for assessing program salaries and goals.
