To ensure the perspective of low-income parents is reflected in its public policy agenda, the Children’s Institute commissioned Davis, Hibbitts & Midghall to conduct four focus groups. The research has been designed to assess parents’ understanding of and attitudes toward the first five years of their child’s life, covering topics such as school readiness, child care, and preschool. Participants also discussed what barriers they face in getting what they need to make sure their children have a healthy start during their first five years of life.
