This data set shows the number of individuals in the Pennsylvania child care workforce verified at each Career Pathway level by the STAR level of the facility where the individual has indicated within the Professional Development (PD) Registry where they are employed. “Verified” means that the individual has an unexpired Career Pathway level that has been determined by an independent review of documentation submitted through the PD Registry. Additional information about the Career Pathway Levels can be found here: https://s35729.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/PA-Early-Childhood-Education-Career-Pathway-eff.-7.1.2022.pdf. Data is included only for individuals working in family child care, group child care, and center child care. Data is current as of the last day of the quarter prior to the posted report. This report will be updated twice a year.
To protect the confidentiality of participants in OCDEL’s programs, it is necessary to limit the amount of data that is available, even in aggregate form. Specifically, counts of 10 or less have been suppressed to protect the confidentiality of individuals (Number is not displayed when count of individuals is less than 11.). Additional counts have also been suppressed to prevent the calculation of suppressed values (Number is greater than 11 but is not displayed.)
