Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of funding for the development of early care and education services on employee satisfaction. Overall, the employee job satisfaction among the three groups was not significant. However, there were six items that were found to have a significant difference among the three groups. The programs selected for funding were higher on some items of employee satisfaction and lower on other items than the other two groups. The funded groups were higher on fair treatment and recognition by supervisor. The funded group was lower on salary adequacy and benefit adequacy. The funded group was higher on employee satisfaction with their supervisor. The unfunded group was less satisfied with their supervisor, when compared to the funding not requested group. Due to the limited representation within the sample, caution should be exercised when generalizing to other groups of childcare workers.
