"Child care arrangements" can include care and education that parents, families, and family friends provide, as well as care and education provided by early learning programs and providers like preschool, Head Start, and child care centers.

Your answers will be kept confidential. You can answer the survey without giving your name. Results from this survey will only be reported in group form and will not identify you or any other individual.

The survey will take less than 15 minutes to complete.
