Description:
In March 2016, the Buffett Early Childhood Institute at the University of Nebraska and Gallup announced the findings of the largest public opinion poll ever conducted about early childhood in Nebraska. More than 7,100 residents shared their beliefs, attitudes, and knowledge about early childhood. The groundbreaking report, Nebraskans Speak About Early Care and Education, revealed that the vast majority of Nebraskans value and support early care and education and believe more needs to be done to prepare young children for success in school and life. In overwhelming numbers, residents said that high-quality early care and education is not available or affordable for all families in Nebraska. This report, Urban and Rural Nebraskans Speak About Early Care and Education, supplements the main report and largely reveals consensus among residents across the state concerning early care and education, despite some notable differences in the survey results. Where a child is raised can have an impact on growth and development. Understanding similarities and differences can help ensure that support and investments are tailored to match communities' needs.
