Is there a need for Child care within the Nanticoke Lenni Lenape Community?  please take our survey below!

​Although more public funds for child care are available than ever before, problems of supply and quality continue to limit access to child care for Native American recipients who are low and moderate-income families. These families must cope with ever-rising costs for child care. We have an opportunity to address this need and humbly ask that you participate in our survey.
 
Current research has shown that the early years (ages 0-5) are the most sensitive for brain development. Over 90% of brain growth occurs during this period. The people who help care for your child are also those who help shape your child’s mind.
 
Studies show that children who receive quality child care enter school with better math, language, and social skills. These skills give your child a good start to succeed in school and in life.
 
When your child has safe, loving, and stimulating child care that you can count on, you don’t have to worry while you are at work. You know that your child is getting the kind of care children need to be healthy, happy, and successful.
 
Society, children, families, employers, communities, and the nation as a whole benefit from high quality child care. Fostering a healthy, successful, future workforce is essential to everyone’s well-being.
 
We are seeking your assistance with our survey to define this need within our Nanticoke Lenni Lenape community. Thank you in advance for your participation.
