Prince George's County Response to HB 1071: School-Age Child Care Needs Assessment.
Worshtil, Marti
The legislature of the State of Maryland enacted a bill that requires each county in the state to conduct a needs assessment for the delivery of before- and after-school child care services to children 4-14 years of age and offer recommendations for the delivery of care. This document provides Prince George's County's response to the legislation. Content includes discussion of current services, policies, a survey of parents' need for services, data compilation, survey results, and demographic data. Analyses of services, of policies, of the survey, and of the demographic data are also reported. Data indicated that Prince George's County has a critical need for school-age child care services for children between 4 and 14 years of age. A total of 32,944 children have no supervision before or after school. It is concluded that the county has appropriate service models in place. All that is required to meet children's needs is an expansion of current services. The survey instrument is included in the report, as is a copy of the bill (HB-1071). (RH)
