Oneida County Childcare Coalition launches 2025 community survey

The Oneida County Childcare Coalition (OCCC) is inviting community members and local businesses to take part in its annual survey to better understand child care needs across the county. The surveys are now open and will remain available through Friday, Aug. 29.

There are two versions of the survey: one for businesses and one for individuals/residents. Both are designed to gather input on current child care experiences, identify challenges, and explore opportunities to strengthen local child care options.

“We need to work together as a community to understand what’s working, what’s needed, and how we can support both current and new child care solutions in Oneida County,” said Robin Mainhardt, OCCC member.

The data collected will help inform future projects and initiatives focused on improving access to high-quality, affordable child care throughout the county.
