Everyday Learning

The US Census Bureau is looking for participants to help evaluate a new web survey developed for the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), within the U.S. Department of Education. This survey is part of NCES’s National Household Education Survey, a study that helps educators, researchers, and policy-makers better understand children’s care and schooling.

If you are selected to participate, you'll receive $40 for a 60-minute NO in-person contact session.

The Census Bureau is looking for the following types of participants:

* Parents or grandparents who live with children under age 6 who are (or were prior to COVID-19) in some form of childcare (e.g., cared for by a relative; cared for by a neighbor, nanny, or au pair; cared for in a pre-school or childcare center)

* Parents or grandparents who live with children under age 6 who are (or were prior to COVID-19) in more than one type of childcare arrangement (e.g., watched in morning by a relative and in the afternoon goes to a preschool)

* Parents or grandparents who live with children under age 6 who are (or were prior to COVID-19) in childcare and where the parent has developmental concerns about the child

* Parents or grandparents who live with children under age 6 who are (or were prior to COVID-19) in childcare and where the child has been diagnosed with a developmental delay

* Parents or grandparents who live with children homeschooled in grades equivalent to Kindergarten through 12. (Please Note: We are looking for parents who have been homeschooling their children prior to the COVID19)
