Virginia Casper, Graduate Faculty Emerita, authored the educator vignettes and offered advisement on concepts of quality care and adherence to Bank Street’s core approach to educator preparation woven throughout the paper. Alexa Shore and Jesse Margolis completed the financial modeling research and created the residency program cost model and estimates relating to pay parity.  \nWe are grateful for the support and guidance offered by Harriet Dichter from ICF Early Education Services, Abby Copeman Petig and Caitlin McLean from the Center for the Study of Child Care Employment at the University of California, Berkeley, Sarah LeMoine from ZERO TO THREE, and Diane Dellano and Cynthia Rice from Advocates for Children of New Jersey. We would also like to thank Sarah Semlack, who was instrumental in establishing introductions to many experts and practitioners in the birth-to-three community and for supporting our outreach and engagement.
