GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE SURVEY: ⮚ Please answer every question and fill in every box unless asked to skip questions. ⮚ For Questions 1, 6, and 7, information should be given for the month of September 2023. ⮚ For Question 2, provide information about summer care in July 2023 for school-age children. ⮚ If rates varied for the same child care service, write the rate that most parents are charged. ⮚ Rates should be for on-time payment and on-time pick-up of children. If parents receive a discount for paying early, enter the rate they would have paid without a discount. If parents paid more than you regularly charge due to late payment or because they picked up children late, do not include these extra charges. ⮚ School-age children are children from ages 5 - 12 who are attending school and receive care on teacher workdays, vacations, track-out days, holidays, or care during summer when school is out of session. ⮚ Definitions and question-by-question instructions are provided at the end of this document.
