Community Needs Assessment Now Open

Starting Point wants to hear from YOU! Needs Assessment Surveys are now open.

Every year, Starting Point opens our Needs Assessment surveys to learn more about what families, providers, and community members need to support children’s success in education & beyond.

What does Starting Point need from you?

We’re asking for 10-15 minutes of your time to answer questions about child care, family supports, and more! It’s not all for our benefit — when you submit your survey, you’ll be entered into a raffle for a $100 gift card!

Who can take the survey?

We’re looking for responses from people living and working in Ashtabula, Geauga, Lake and Cuyahoga counties to complete the survey that best describes their role—whether you’re a parent or caregiver, child care provider, or community member.  

What does Starting Point do with this information?

We will use the responses collected from our community in a few ways. First, we’ll provide a report to the Department of Children and Youth so that their organization can better understand what our community needs to thrive. Second, Starting Point will assess what we’re currently doing for our families, providers, and community to understand what more is needed 

How will I find out if I've won the $100 gift card?

Each survey has its own $100 gift card raffle. If you include your name and email address in your response, your information will be entered into our raffle. If your name is selected, a Starting Point team member will reach out to you via the email address you’ve shared with details on collecting your prize!
