Description:
In March 2016, the Buffett Early Childhood Institute at the University of Nebraska and Gallup announced findings from 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, respondents said that high-quality early care and education is not available or affordable for all families in Nebraska. This report, Nebraska Parents Speak About Early Care and Education, supplements the main report and further examines parents' perspectives on early care and education programs. For purposes of this analysis, respondents were divided into three groups: residents with children aged 8 or younger, those with children aged 9 and older, and those without children.
