It takes a village to raise a child. We’ve all heard the saying, but what do today’s parents really think? To find out, we conducted a nationwide survey of 2,000 parents of children six and under. According to the survey, 78% of parents agreed that the definition of a village— or their community and support system— is different today than when they were growing up. Other key findings include:
- 81% believe it’s imperative to have a support system—a village— when it comes to raising their child.
- 86% say they have a different type of support system today than their own parents did.
- Of those with a child enrolled in school or childcare (74%), 89% say it plays a big role in their village. These parents rely on their child’s school or childcare provider an average of 12 times per month for support.
