Child care survey available
GREENFIELD – A childcare survey is available online, as the Community Foundation of Hancock County works in a collaborative effort to assess the needs of local care for young children.
Parents and guardians of children under the age of 6 are invited to take a survey at surveymonkey.com/r/RegionalFamily.
The CFHC, along with the community foundations in Henry, Rush and Fayette counties, is collaborating with a consulting group to identify needs related to early care and education. The collaboration will create a proposal to apply for grant funds from Lilly Endowment. Feedback in the survey will be used beyond grant funding, to continue supporting early care and education providers in communities. Survey responses are kept anonymous.
Deadline to complete the 10-minute survey is Feb. 15.
