Reimagine Child Care in TN Feedback Form
We want to hear from you--how can child care in Tennessee be improved? Actually, how can it be transformed?!

This form provides an opportunity for you to share solutions-oriented ideas OR problems that need to be solved if Tennessee is to successfully address Tennessee’s child care crisis of affordability, quality and access. This form includes some categories/prompts for topics you may wish to weigh in on, but each of these are just meant to spark your thinking!  Please type your solutions ideas or problems to be solved in the blanks provided below.

We’ll be including your input into a report that we’ll provide to the sponsors of the TN Child Care Task Force bill (HB598/SB677), Sen. Becky Massey and Rep. Patsy Hazlewood, as well as to DHS Commissioner Carter who will chair the task force.  And we'll share the report with you too.

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on this critical issue for Tennessee's children and families.
