The Impact of Universal Pre-K on Child Care Providers in FWISD 2014
Appendix XII: Survey Questions A Brief Note About this Survey As you may or may not be aware, the Fort Worth Independent School District has begun a 3-year, district wide plan to implement universal (not need-based) free public Pre-Kindergarten for 4-5 year olds. The roll-out began this school year (2014-2015) with Pre-K classrooms in a selection of FWISD elementary schools, and it will add additional Pre-K classrooms in 2015-17and 2016-17. With generous funding from the Fort Worth philanthropic community, The Center for Nonprofit Management and Camp Fire First Texas are conducting research to understand how Fort Worth child care programs may be effected by the availability of free pre-Kindergarten classes in FWISD schools. The findings of this survey will be included in a final report to help those working in and alongside child care providers to ensure quality child care remains accessible and available to Fort Worth's youngest residents. All survey participants will receive a copy of the research findings when the study is completed in January 2015. As a Fort Worth child care provider, your input is critical to the success of this research project. We know that your time is valuable, and in appreciation of your time, all child care centers completing the survey will be entered into a drawing to receive a free onsite professional development training provided by Camp Fire First Texas. All child care homes completing the survey will be entered into a drawing to receive one of five free vouchers to attend a Camp Fire First Texas professional development workshop. This survey will take 10-15 minutes to complete. Your responses to this survey are confidential. The Center for Nonprofit Management will only report survey results in aggregate to ensure individual respondents cannot be identified.
