2011 Adair County Childcare Survey

Recently, a group of individuals met to review and discuss availability of childcare within our region, with particular emphasis on Adair County. Our goal is to determine if adequate facilities are available and to address additional needs, costs and other potential areas of concern if they do in fact exist. The attached survey stems from those efforts and meetings. It is our hope that you will consider taking a few moments to complete the online survey and assist us in gathering valuable information that will help us investigate our current resources and address any weaknesses or additional childcare needs that may exist. Thank you in advance for taking the time to supply us with your thoughts, your feedback and for completing our survey.

Contributing committee members are: Truman State University (Truman Institute: C.A.S.E Office), City of Kirksville, Northeast Missouri Community Action Agency, Early Childhood Development Center, Kirksville Family Support Division, Missouri Career Center (Kirksville), Missouri Employer Committee.
