Parent Surveys
Some people come into our lives and quickly leave. Others come into our lives and leave such an impression that they stay with us for all time.Docia Zavitkovsky
The popular Exchange book, Staying on Course: The Early Childhood Board's Guide to Success, notes that parent input is an integral part of a valid internal program assessment and offers a variety of ways to solicit such input...
Online surveys. Many web-based survey tools, such as Survey Monkey, can be used to create user-friendly surveys that include reports on results.
Telephone surveys. It might be beneficial to randomly select parents and interview them around specific events, such as upon initial enrollment.
Climate surveys. At any given time, ask parents to identify an incident that happened in the past six months that made them very happy and an incident that made them unhappy.
Written surveys. A well-written survey can focus on specific areas or provide feedback across a broad range of areas.
