CHILD CARE OUTREACH

PHASE II

PROVIDER SURVEY
Based on compliance reports provided
by the Department of Education and
Early Learning, OEM has created a 10
point rating system for licensed child
care providers in Seattle.
Phase II consists of an assessment
administered to 17 child care providers
selected from a range of zip codes. The
assessment is meant to answer two
questions
What sort of disaster preparedness
training methods do child care
providers prefer to utilize?
Which state administrative codes
(related to safety & emergency
preparedness) are difficult for
providers to meet and why?
