What would make child care work better in Scott County? Tell us! 📣

Child care affects families, businesses, and our entire community. But the only way to truly understand where and what is needed, we need to hear from you!

We're asking parents and caregivers, employers, and child care providers to share their experiences. Whether child care is working well for you or you've struggled to find what you need, we want to hear from you. Everyone who takes part can get a copy of the findings in December.

Find your survey at www.scottcountychildcarestudy.org.

Surveys close Friday, November 6. Please share!

The Scott County Child Care Access Study is a collaboration to find out where care is working and what changes could make the biggest difference. This collaboratoin is the work of Hand in Hand, SAL Community Services, Scott County Kids, Iowa Child Care Resource & Referral Region V, and Community Action of Eastern Iowa.🤝
