Early Childhood Education Systems Analysis – Survey Results Summarized

Last month we encouraged readers to take a survey that was part of the Child Care and Early Childhood Education Systems Analysis (ECSA) project. Thanks to publicity from many stakeholders, the survey got over 325 responses.

A couple weeks ago, the project’s lead consultant published a blog post that provides an in-depth analysis of the results of the survey, which asked about preferences for what kind of government structures we should have in Vermont to regulate child care and pre-K.

You can view the blog here. You can also visit the Building Bright Futures (BBF) ECSA website for more information on the project.
