Child Care Needs Assessment Survey
(Rear Adm. Joanna Nunan, Assistant Commandant for Human Resources - CG1)
You can access the survey by going to the website below: www.uscgchildcaresurvey.com
The Child Care Needs Assessment Survey is underway. At no time in recent history have the challenges of balancing child care responsibilities with Coast Guard duties and the workplace been greater. The 2020 Child Care Needs Assessment was scheduled to take place before we felt the impacts of COVID-19, but couldn’t have been more timely in helping us capture the impacts of child care on morale, retention, and performance. This assessment and survey will help establish the foundation of current concerns and provide recommendations for review and action by the Child Development Services Program (CG-1112).
Please encourage wide participation in this survey. It is open to all those who are eligible for military childcare with children under 12 years of age. The subject matter is childcare in a broad sense and not necessarily related to the COVID-19 pandemic – though we understand that present circumstances have highlighted the need for childcare.
In the interim, Master Chief Bushey’s staff continues to evaluate options to better address childcare in the current environment, and our Commandant reiterated the very importance of the issue in his recent All Hands email, “Supporting our Workforce;” we will seek agile and adaptive options. Childcare concerns transcend those solely for children 12 years and younger, so it is very important to ensure all childcare and schooling-related irreconcilable home issues are fully discussed with supervisors and documented. These issues will continue to evolve as school systems and childcare options expand and contract in response to individual community responses to COVID-19 – flexibility and understanding are critical.
Thank you for your efforts on behalf of our 21st Century workforce.
