Parent Child Care Survey
Our state has yet to fulfill its commitment to child care. The goal of collecting this information is to highlight the gaps in resources resulting from the chronic underfunding by New York State. We expect to compile the information to inform the drafting of universal child care legislation, and to put pressure on elected officials to fully fund universal child care. Please be as descriptive as possible in answering the questions in order to illustrate the needs in your region. We will need to follow up with you to ensure that we have all the information necessary to show the public how the state is not providing adequate funding for districts to meet ALL their children’s needs.
