YWCA St. John's Child Care Survey

Introduction

YWCA St. John’s is interested in offering a child care program for St. John’s metro region. Through our needs assessment we are attempting to determine: what the demand is for licensed child care, the ages of children who require child care, and the best location for a facility.

Thank you for taking the time to answer this survey and to help us with our future plans. If you would like to enter the draw for a $25 Tim’s card, please indicate on the survey.

All responses we receive are confidential and names of participants will not be included in the final report. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Charmaine Davidge at cdavidge@coastlineconsultants.ca or 754-1082.
