An unintended consequence of the state's multi-billion-dollar early education program ramps up is the damage being done to the business model of traditional childcare providers.
“I want to say 90% to 95% of the calls are for infants and toddlers,” Algorri said. “If my ratio for infants is four and I'm not getting phone calls for children two and up, it means that I'm going to have to decrease to caring for only four children.”A San Diego County YMCA survey found that 85% of child care businesses have seen a reduction in enrollments of 4-year-old children and 76% have lost children to a TK program.
TK teachers are “a unicorn” in terms of their credentials, said Rita Palet, the executive director of early education and services at the San Diego County Office of Education. They need a multiple subjects credential like an elementary school teacher and early childhood education units like a child care provider or preschool teacher.And as TK ramps up over the next three years, the need will continue to grow.
While preschool teachers might not have their multiple subjects credentials, they can work as assistants in TK classrooms, while getting their degrees or credentials, Palet said. Some districts are also hiring teachers as interns, as long as they’re currently enrolled in a program to obtain either their multiple subjects credential or their Child Development units.
