However, it is important to advocate for yourself and accept a position with an employer who is a good fit for you and your future. 1. Hourly WageCompare what the employer offers you to the salary rates at other schools or ECE programs in the area. Take into consideration your education & experience. Possessing a Permit or having your degree should increase your wages. 2. Job BenefitsSome employers offer great benefits which can help offset a lower hourly wage or salary. Ask about health insurance, 401K, free\/reduced childcare, tuition assistance, paid vacation, and sick leave. 3. Educational SupportEarly childhood educators are lifelong learners, and it can be important to earn more ECE units to upgrade your permit or work towards degrees. Make sure your employer is supportive of you continuing your education. 4. A good fitThe tour and interview process are just as much an opportunity for you to decide if this is a place you want to work. Go with your gut feeling. Ask yourself if you feel welcomed, safe, & encouraged in this environment.","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.palomar.edu\/childdevelopment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/261\/2023\/04\/Career-Search-Tips-for-Jobs-in-Early-Childhood-Education.png?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.palomar.edu\/childdevelopment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/261\/2023\/04\/Career-Search-Tips-for-Jobs-in-Early-Childhood-Education.png?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.palomar.edu\/childdevelopment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/261\/2023\/04\/Career-Search-Tips-for-Jobs-in-Early-Childhood-Education.png?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.palomar.edu\/childdevelopment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/261\/2023\/04\/Career-Search-Tips-for-Jobs-in-Early-Childhood-Education.png?resize=700%2C400&ssl=1 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.palomar.edu\/childdevelopment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/261\/2023\/04\/Career-Search-Tips-for-Jobs-in-Early-Childhood-Education.png?resize=1050%2C600&ssl=1 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":6067,"url":"https:\/\/www.palomar.edu\/childdevelopment\/partnership-with-palomars-early-childhood-education-lab-school\/","url_meta":{"origin":4778,"position":4},"title":"Palomar&#8217;s Early Childhood Education Lab School","author":"Wilson, Gina","date":"January 9, 2024","format":false,"excerpt":"The Child Development & Education Department closely partners with our on-campus Early Childhood Education Lab School (ECELS).
