Virescent Group is partnering with Wonders Early Learning + Extended Day and Montgomery Moving Forward, an initiative of Nonprofit Montgomery, to survey Greater Washington early learning organizations to understand the current state of early learning compensation. The goal of the survey is to better understand how regional program-based compensation is influenced and/or impacted by emerging public initiatives and investments.

The survey builds on two earlier workforce studies conducted by the Urban Institute and the Washington Area Women’s Foundation in 2018 and Virginia Early Childhood Foundation in 2017,

We are asking both early learning administrators and educators to complete the brief survey below by Tuesday, June 28. Everyone who completes the survey will be (1) entered to win one of five $50 Amazon gift cards with winners announced at the end of June and (2) receive a summary of the 2022 survey findings at the end of July. Please note we are asking for email addresses to enter you into the gift card giveaway and to send a copy of the summary survey findings, but please know your answers will remain anonymous and your contact information will not be used for any other purpose.

The survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Please note that once submitted, you will be sent a copy of your survey responses and all your responses can be edited after submitting.

Thank you in advance for your time. If you have any questions, please reach out to Kristalee Overdahl, Principal, Virescent Group LLC at kristaleeoverdahl@gmail.com.
