The purpose of WestEd's E3 Institute: Advancing Excellence in Early Education (formerly known as the Institute for Early Childhood Professional Development) is to support and strengthen early childhood professional development through education, recruitment, and financial incentives.
The Institute serves California's Santa Clara County and reaches new recruits, family child care providers, center-based programs, programs for children with special needs, employers, faith-based providers, and the corporate community with the goal of leveraging local resources for child care professionals, especially through the Comprehensive Approaches to Raising Educational Standards (CARES) program.
CARES is a financial stipend program designed to encourage and reward educational attainment for early education professionals. Since its inception in 2002, CARES, which stands for Comprehensive Approaches to Raising Educational Standards, awarded $17 million to nearly 4,900 early educators in Santa Clara County. This represents more than 79% of the estimated providers in this county.
