KidCheck Secure Children's and Youth Check-In are sharing Why The Annual Family Survey?

The annual family survey is more than just a questionnaire. It’s the connection that brings together your organization with the experiences of attending families. By collecting direct feedback from kids, parents, guardians, and caregivers, you will gain critical insights into your program and display a genuine commitment to partnership. Investing time in this annual practice helps create an environment where kids thrive.

Benefits include:

 

 

  • Data-Driven Decisions – Using an annual family survey provides actionable data that helps you assess the impact of your program. By reviewing feedback, you can more easily identify what’s working and what isn’t and make informed decisions about resource allocation.
  • Better Accountability and Transparency – By having an annual family survey, you are demonstrating a commitment to accountability, and sharing the results with a coordinated action plan fosters transparency.
  • Increases Trust and Loyalty – By inviting families (including kids five and up) to share their perspectives, you show that your organization values input. This builds trust and strengthens relationships, which often increases commitment and engagement.
  • Stronger Partnerships with Families – Families will feel more connected and appreciate seeing their feedback result in noticeable changes, such as improved communication, better child safety, and more modern pick-up and drop-off policies.
  • Customized support – Survey data can help identify specific family needs that reduce stress and free up time. Items such as flexible program hours, special needs support, after-school care, and homework support are just a few you could ask about in the survey.

The annual family survey is a cornerstone of any organization committed to excellence. It’s not only a tool but a promise to listen, learn, and grow together. To get started, go to How To Implement a Successful Family Survey
