Because children and families access many different systems, it is critically important to gather information about their experiences with these services—which ones they access, how the quality of those services affect them, and how children fare later in school and life. Such information can be used to shape the services themselves, making them more effective and efficient. This information is also necessary to identify gaps in needed services and locations where additional resources should be invested. Sharing and integrating data across the variety of systems accessed by children and families is crucial to providing decision-makers with complete and accurate information that they can use to shape and improve services.

The survey was distributed to families receiving child care scholarships1 and to families with children enrolled in licensed child care in Maryland. This parent survey was conducted on behalf of the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) by researchers at Child Trends as part of the Maryland Child Care Policy Research Partnership funded by the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation, Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
