This is a multiphase, mixed methods follow up study on a survey of New York’s early care and education (ECE) workforce conducted in May 2020. Its broad purposes are to 1) understand how New York City’s ECE professionals are faring more than a year into the COVID-19 pandemic and 2) draw lessons from their experiences - statistically and phenomenologically - to inform decisions about what a more equitable ECE system can and should look like.
