Early educators are understaffed, underpaid, overworked and unsupported. For the amazing, ESSENTIAL work that we do, and the emotional burden often placed upon us in this job, we are not seen. I am tired. I am angry. And I’m sick of seeing good educators forced to leave due to the emotional and financial stress.I will never leave, but I worry for the future. I am about to bring home my first child, and yet the worry of not being able to provide for them financially is definitely a concern.
