Engaging local government leaders

As a community representative in your local government that is responsible for planning, facilitating, and assessing child care services in your area, your insights are essential in planning child care services. The first step in engagement is completing our Child Care Needs Survey, designed for local government decision-makers. Your input will help guide informed policies and funding for child care in your community.
