Quality Rating 3: Salary & Benefits
Incremental Salary Scale
Gaining and retaining well-qualified and committed staff is a challenge for many child care programs. Providing fair and equitable pay to all of your staff members shows respect for, and recognition of, a commitment to high standards. Offering a flexible salary scale based on education and experience emphasizes the importance of ongoing training and professional development in high quality programs.
This section guides you through reviewing how you determine your staff’s salary. It helps you meet the requirements for Administrative Policies and Practices: Salary and Benefits: ADM 12.3.
NOTE: If you are a family child care provider and do not employ any staff, leave a comment for your Program Coordinator (PC) explaining that you have no employees.
