Childcare Survey

If you are a childcare provider or parent in South Dakota, we ask you to complete a quick survey by May 31 to tell us about childcare needs in your family and community. 

In addition to collecting survey data, we will work with Beresford, Lead/Deadwood, and Webster communities to lead roundtable discussions and support economic development task force groups to address childcare needs in those communities.
