Abstract
The survey on which this report is based was designed to better understand the early childhood education needs and opportunities in the Upper Valley of New Hampshire and Vermont. Disseminated among four of the region’s largest employers, the survey specifically inquired about the child care use, challenges, and choices of select Upper Valley workers to lend geographic and contextual detail to data from national surveys and state administrative systems.
This report begins with a series of key findings from the survey and a description of the report data and methodology. The body of the report focuses on four key areas: (1) child care need among respondents, (2) their current child care arrangements, (3) experiences with access to child care, and (4) their perceptions of resources about and within the child care system. This report concludes with a summary of findings specific to Hypertherm associates, and a series of conclusions about all respondents and recommendations for future research.
