Connecticut RAPID Survey
Survey 1: Child Care Access & Affordability
The Connecticut RAPID Survey is a partnership between The Connecticut Project, Stanford’s RAPID Survey Project, and 17 community-based organizations to lift up the voices of parents of young children across Connecticut to inform programs and policies that are responsive to their needs. The first of eight surveys asked parents about their experiences with child care access and affordability. Additional survey topics include developmental screening, early literacy, material hardship, housing, and healthcare.
