Over 1500 surveys were returned. The broad intent of the survey was to assess current opinions with respect to childcare needs in the community. In addition, the survey instrument was designed to gather information as to both the current and expected usage of child care provider services.
Complete reports are available below.
With respect to the location of childcare facilities, there appears to be a reasonable close correspondence between current and preferred location. About a third of the respondents with children report delays in obtaining placement in a childcare facility. Respondent preferences for various child care options also varied by child group. We have provided all comments. In their current format, it is difficult to distill much meaning from the voluminous amount of information provided by respondent comments.
