We need your help to reach real families within your program and community!
The Department of Early Learning and Care has partnered with Portland State University and OSLC Developments, Inc. to hear directly from Oregon families. Parents and caregivers of young children in Oregon are invited to complete a survey about their experience searching for and using child care.
All eligible parents and caregivers who complete the survey will receive a $25 gift e-card! One card per family. You can make sure families within your program receive a flyer and have the opportunity to participate in the survey!
With Artificial Intelligence (AI) becoming more common, it is harder for surveys like this one to get into the hands of real people (rather than bots and scammers). So this year, we are handing out paper flyers with instructions on how to access the survey all throughout communities in Oregon in hopes of reaching real families with young children.
If you have not yet received any flyers in the mail, you can request some be mailed to you. Email pdg@oslc.org to request survey flyers to share with families in your program!
