Childcare Needs Assessment Report
Executive Summary
The following summary highlights the findings from the Childcare Needs Assessmentsent to students in fall 2006. This needs assessment was conducted as part of a larger
study to evaluate the impact and effectiveness of how Access to Learning dollars arespent. The response rate for this study was 29%.
Main findings:
Need for Childcare
Respondents were asked to rate the importance of the availability of childcareto themselves, to the campus community in retaining students, and to potentialnew students in recruitment. Mean student ratings ranged from 2.33 to 3.06
on a four-point scale and were lower than the 2002 survey. There were somedifferences by gender and class level.
Over 54% (583) of the respondents currently have children or plan to addchildren to their household in the next five years.
A total of 41% of students with children reported that they have children thatwere infant/toddlers. Additionally, 47% had pre-school aged children and42% had school aged children.
The most common types of childcare reported were a relative in your homeor theirs, a childcare provider in your home or theirs or daycarecenter/childcare facility other than UW-Stout.
The majority of respondents with children indicated that they needed childcarefor all or part of 7:30am to 5:30pm. Additionally, all or part of 5:30pm to10:30pm was chosen by greater than 25% of the respondents and before
7:30am and weekends were each chosen by 15% or more of the
respondents.
Satisfaction with Childcare
Mean satisfaction ratings with childcare were higher for students using theUW-Stout Child and Family Study Center (3.67) than for those using adifferent childcare program (3.28).
Evaluation of UW-Stout Child and Family Study Center
Students who use the UW-Stout Child and Family Study Center were asked towhat extent the center has made it possible for them to: attend college; beactively involved in their studies; participate in extra-curricular activities; or

interact more with the faculty, staff and students. Students indicated the
highest level of agreement with the center making it possible for them to beactively involved in their studies and to attend college.
Almost three-fourths of the students agreed or strongly agreed that the
availability of childcare services until 5:30pm has permitted more flexibilityin their class schedules and 85% agreed or strongly agreed that it has provided
the opportunity to take classes they need to graduate.
Students who use the UW-Stout Child and Family Study Center were alsoasked if the cost for their children to attend the center is reasonable. Allstudents agreed or strongly agreed that the cost was reasonable.
Students Who Dont Use UW-Stout Child and Family Study Center
Students that do not currently use the UW-Stout Child and Family StudyCenter indicated that the main reasons that they do not use the center are:
location of the center; no need for childcare; no openings; cost; age ofchildren; and limited hours/dates of operation for the center.
Respondents who do not currently use the center were also asked if theywould use the center if openings were available, and which childcare services
that they would use. Fully 57 students indicated that they would use thecenter if openings were available. In total, respondents identified a need for
care of 31 infant/toddlers and 36 pre-school children.
Importance of Childcare
Students were also asked to rate the importance of several different aspects of
childcare services. Quality of care and safe environment were rated themost important. Aspects that were rated the least important dealt with theavailability of before school care, after school care, 24-hour care, and year
round care. Some statistically significant differences based on gender,
minority status, and full-time/part-time were found in this question.
Preference of Model or Childcare Program
Respondents were asked which type of childcare they would prefer that theirchild receive care from: a model program (such as the Child and Family StudyCenter) or a childcare program. Almost 50% of the students preferred the
model program and an additional 26% preferred either type of program.

Childcare Needs Assessment Report
Full Report
Purpose
The following summary highlights the findings from the Childcare Needs Assessment
sent to students in fall 2006. This needs assessment was conducted as part of a larger
study to evaluate the impact and effectiveness of how Access to Learning dollars arespent. The survey was administered to a random sample of students in fall 2006 and all
students with children attending the Child and Family Study Center.
In fall 2002, a very similar version of the survey was administered to all students and
staff at UW-Stout as part of the Quality for Women Initiative. The student responsesfrom that study have been included in this report for comparison. It should be noted that
a much smaller student response was received for the 2002 survey with 225 participants
compared to 1,186 for 2006.
Method
A Childcare Needs Assessment survey was sent to students in fall 2006 (see Appendix Afor a copy of the survey). Half of the fall 2006 student body was randomly selected to
receive the survey. All students with children attending the Child and Family Study
Center were included also. The survey asked for information on need for childcare,satisfaction with current childcare services, importance of various childcare services, and
demographic information.
Before the survey was deployed, the Director of the Child and Family Study Centeralerted student parents that they would be receiving a survey. Students received an e-
mail invitation to participate in the survey on November 27 from the Budget, Planning
and Analysis Office. Surveys were completed on-line. A follow-up e-mail was sent onDecember 7 to students that had not responded.
A total of 1,186 responses were received for a response rate of 29%. Of the respondentswho provided demographic information (13% did not provide information), 21% were
freshmen, 18% were sophomores, 20% were juniors, 27% were seniors, 13% were
graduate students, and 2% were special students. 30% were men and 70% were women,and 88% were full-time students and 12% were part-time students. 14% indicated that
their spouse/partner attends UW-Stout. In comparison to the total number of students atUW-Stout, women are over-represented among the survey respondents. The surveyrespondents are fairly representative of the total student population on all other
demographic variables (see Tables 1a-1d).

A total of 41% of students with children reported that they have children that wereinfant/toddlers. Additionally, 47% had pre-school aged children and 42% had school
aged children.
The most common types of childcare reported were a relative in your home or theirs, a
childcare provider in your home or theirs or daycare center/childcare facility otherthan UW-Stout (see Figure 3). Over three-fourths of students with children reported
using one of these types of childcare for their children. Additionally, almost 20% of thestudents with children reported that they used the UW-Stout Child and Family Study
Center. When results were compared to 2002, 11% more students in 2006 selected
other than 2002 respondents. Responses given for the other category in 2006included the following types of care: parental care; friend or relative; childcare facility or
before/after school program; or not needed (see Table 2).

Satisfaction with Childcare

(3.28).

Evaluation of UW-Stout Child and Family Study Center
Fully 27 students who use the UW-Stout Child and Family Study Center completed thesurvey. These 27 respondents were asked several questions designed, in part, to assess
the effectiveness of the access to learning funds that were spent on the UW-Stout Childand Family Study Center. Students were asked to what extent the UW-Stout Child andFamily Study Center has made it possible for them to: attend college; be actively
involved in their studies; participate in extra-curricular activities; or interact more withthe faculty, staff and students.
Students indicated the highest level of agreement with the center making it possible forthem to be actively involved in their studies and to attend college (see Figure 6). This
finding provides support for the fact that the access to learning funds have made it
possible for some student parents to attend college. In contrast, lower ratings werereported for the UW-Stout Child and Family Study Center making it possible for students
to participate in extra-curricular activities at UW-Stout. However, this response didreceive higher ratings in 2006 compared to 2002. Be actively involved in my studies
and interact more with other students received higher ratings in 2006 also.

These students were asked what additional special needs or accommodations would theywant the UW-Stout childcare services to provide. Comments included expanded hours
and change in class size/availability (see Table 3).
Why respondents do NOT currently use the UW-Stout Child and Family Study Center
Students who have children that do NOT attend UW-Stouts Child and Family StudyCenter (105) were asked why their child does not attend the center, and if they would usethe center if openings were available. Respondents were asked to choose from several
response options regarding why their child does not attend UW-Stouts Child and Family
Study Center. They were also given the opportunity to write in other reasons that werenot listed as response options. The main reasons that were reported were (see Table 4):
o Location of the centero No need for childcareo No openingso Costo Age of children (too old/too young)
o Limited hours/dates of operation for the center
Respondents who do not currently use the center were also asked if they would use the
center if openings were available, and which childcare services that they would use.
Fully 57 students indicated that they would use the center if openings were available. In
total, respondents identified a need for care of 31 infant/toddlers and 36 pre-schoolchildren (see Figure 8). In 2002, only 14 infant/toddlers and 13 pre-school children were
identified as needing care.

Importance of Services
Students were also asked to rate the importance of several different aspects of childcare
services. Both respondents with children and those who are thinking about adding
children to their household in the next five years responded to these questions. Qualityof care and safe environment were rated the most important. These were rated the
most important in 2002 also (see Table 5). In 2006, 14 of the 19 aspects listed had mean
ratings of higher than 3.00 on a 4-point scale. Aspects that were rated the least importantdealt with the availability of before school care, after school care, 24-hour care, and year
round care. Availability of care for special needs children was also rated lower.
Several statistically significant differences were found for this question. Females
reported significantly higher ratings than men for 16 out of the 19 aspects. Minorities
also reported significantly higher ratings than whites for 12 of the aspects and fulltimestudents reported significantly higher ratings than part-time students for care for special
needs child, availability of sick care, cost, availability of before school care, and
availability of 24-hour care. However, it should be noted that minorities (N=41) and
part-time students (N=74) had lower response numbers than whites (N=495) and full timestudents (N=462). Also, freshmen students gave availability of sick care significantly
higher ratings than juniors or graduate students.
All students were asked what additional special needs or accommodations would they
want a childcare program to provide. Comments included topics regarding the learning
environment, expanded hours, qualified staff, and special needs (see Table 6).

Model Program vs. Childcare Center
Respondents were asked one question dealing with the difference between a model
program and a childcare center. Respondents were provided with a definition of a modelprogram and a childcare center and asked if they understand the difference between the
two programs. A total of 82% of students agreed or strongly agreed that they understood
the difference (see Figure 9). In 2002, 97% of students understood the difference. Astatistically significant difference was found between ratings for graduate students and
ratings for sophomores and juniors. Graduate students understood the difference more
than the sophomore and junior respondents.
Source: Childcare needs assessment survey, Fall 2002 and Fall 2006
Respondents were then asked which type of childcare they would prefer that their child
receive. Almost 50% of the students preferred the model program (see Figure 10). Anadditional 26% preferred either type of program. In 2002, 65% of respondents preferred
the model program.
