2026 report on burnout & joy

• We surveyed early childhood owners, directors, and teachers around the US to find out what's driving burnout this year, and what's kept their joy alive despite it.
• Key findings: 62% now work late three or more days a week (up from 53% last year), and 80% have noticed quiet quitting in themselves or a colleague. But 77% still feel joy in this work every week.
• Get the full report to see what's changed since last year, and what still gets people out of bed every morning.
