County Surveying Parents About Child Care Needs During Pandemic

GAITHERSBURG, MD — As Montgomery County begins lifting restrictions on restaurants, shops, and houses of worship, the Early Childhood Coordinating Council (ECCC) wants to hear from parents about their child care needs.

The ECCC — which operates under the county's Department of Health and Human Services — is encouraging parents of children, especially those under 13 years of age, to complete this survey.

"The survey should take fewer than five minutes to complete and will help the county shape community-centered programs and inform recommendations made to policymakers, educators, and the business community," officials said in a statement.

All responses are anonymous. The deadline to complete the survey is midnight, Tuesday, June 16.
