Branch County Family Childcare Survey

Branch County Family Childcare Survey

Thank you for helping us better understand the childcare needs and experiences of families in Branch County.
(For the purposes of this survey, "childcare" refers to any regular care for your child(ren) provided by someone other than a family member or legal guardian. This includes day care centers, group homes, nannies, and similar services.)
1.What is your family's childcare situation right now (besides school)?
2.If all childcare options were the same price and easy to get, what would be the best way to care for your youngest child? (Pick all that you like)
3.What is the best place for childcare to be? (Click all the places that might help you.)
4.What do you think is a fair price for childcare for each child? (Choose all that fit. Fair price might be different than what you can pay. We'll ask that question next.)
5.How much can you pay for childcare for each child? (Check all the prices that work for you.)
6.If your family could get affordable childcare that you can count on, would one or both parents go back to work?
7.How many days a year do you miss work because of problems with childcare?(Like if your babysitter cancels, your child is sick and can't go to their usual care, or school is canceled and you need help watching them.)
8.Is there anything else you want to tell us about your experience with childcare?
