The Early Childhood Educator Pay Scales Temporary Amendment Act of 2025 aims to amend the Day Care Policy Act of 1979 to establish updated minimum salary requirements for assistant and lead teachers in child development facilities, effective January 2026. The bill introduces new definitions, including "Community-based organization" and "Subsidy," and makes several amendments to existing sections, such as changing references to specific sections of the Early Childhood Educator Pay Equity Fund Establishment Act of 2021. It also mandates that child development facilities receiving funds from the Early Childhood Educator Pay Equity Fund must adhere to the new salary scales, which are detailed in tables specifying minimum salaries based on credential levels.

Additionally, the bill revives and amends the Early Childhood Educator Pay Equity Fund, ensuring it continues to support the implementation of the Early Childhood Educator Pay Equity Program and includes provisions for quarterly reporting on fund expenditures. It establishes the Early Childhood Educator Equitable Compensation Task Force, which will review salary scales and make recommendations for improvements in the early childhood education workforce. The bill repeals previous acts related to the Early Childhood Pay Equity Fund and the Task Force, streamlining the legislative framework for early childhood educator compensation in the District of Columbia.
