Health and Well-Being of the King County Child Care Workforce
A pre-launch survey brief that documents the financial, emotional, and physical well-being of a local child care workforce before the start of a wage boost pilot.
This report presents baseline findings on financial insecurity, stress, depression symptoms, physical health, and access to benefits among child care professionals prior to the rollout of a wage supplement program.
It highlights how low wages and financial strain are linked to elevated stress and mental health challenges, alongside gaps in health insurance and paid sick leave. The brief also identifies protective factors—such as social support networks and self-care activities—that may help buffer hardship and provides a foundation for measuring how well-being changes after the pilot begins.
