2019-2020 Annual Parent Questionnaire

Please complete our Annual Parent Questionnaire for the 2019-2020 School Year!

Please take a moment to complete our Annual Parent Questionnaire for this school year 2019-2020. The results from this questionnaire provide us with information necessary for planning quality programmatic improvements and reporting to our funders. Funders require that we provide statistical data about the families we serve, what they are like, and how they benefit from the program. Your input is valuable.

This questionnaire is anonymous, so there is no way for Sheltering Arms to identify you with your answers. It should take you about 10 minutes to complete this questionnaire. Please answer the questions to the best of your ability. If you have more than one child at the Center, please provide your overall family experience.

Thank you,

The Sheltering Arms Staff
