Starbuck Child Care Needs Assessment

The RM of Macdonald is interested in assessing the needs for child care in Starbuck and the surrounding area. A key part of this process involves gathering information from parents and legal guardians regarding their experiences with child care issues and priorities. 


This survey is for parents/guardians and caregivers between the ages of 0 – 12 years. If you are currently accessing child care, or have had difficulty accessing child care, or plan to access child care in the future – we would like to hear from you. This survey must be completed by one member per family only.


Participating in this survey is entirely voluntary. If you are uncomfortable with a question, you may choose not to answer and you may end the survey at any time.


Any personal information provided will be treated confidentially and will only be used for the purpose of this assessment. Your personal information will not be released without your permission.
