Our job is so important, with economy the way it is who else can support these families with the development of their young children, so that they can put food on the table and clothes on their little bodies, it is us that fill that void. I work in Connecticut and currently earn 10.50 an hour with a CDA plus 12 ECE credits,I am currently working towards my Associates but I feel that we work so hard and give so much of our heart to our work that we should be valued a little more and compensated alot more for the time and money we spend to become educated in our feild of work so that we can be effective in meeting the goals we set for the children we work with. We are so much more that childcare providers and anyone who works the feild know's exactly what I mean! Name: Email: Subject
