Assessing Childcare Needs in Boyle County

Author: Julie N. Zimmerman

Planning Unit: Community & Leadership Development

Major Program: Community Analysis

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Responding to data requests associated with a specific local need is part of my Extension program Kentucky: By The Numbers.  This past year, Aletheathe Price, FCS county agent, was working with a local taskforce to address the increasing need for access to childcare in Boyle county.  The Taskforce suggested paying a consultant to conduct a local assessment.  However, without funding, this was not possible.  Building on previous work conducted by the Early Childhood Council and Bluegrass Community Action, I compiled data on child care facilities and slots in Boyle county over time and compared the results with both the current population and population projections for those under the age of 5 years old in the county.  Using the analysis, I prepared both Powerpoint slides and a 13-page PDF with each slide and an explanation of the results that could be printed and shared with the Taskforce.
