Thrive: Breakthrough for Women's Well-Being in Early Care and Education

Early educators are the workforce behind the workforce - essential to working parents' participation in the economy, especially mothers, and to children's well-being during a critical developmental period. Yet ECE workplaces face chronic understaffing, rigid schedules, limited breaks, and insufficient planning time, driving burnout and turnover in a predominantly female workforce. Thrive implements an 18-month Breakthrough Series Collaborative in five states where educator-led teams will test and integrate improvements in staffing, scheduling, communication, and leadership.
