CLOTH DIAPERS IN DAYCARE

The Real Diaper Association (RDA) is interested in learning more about the use of cloth diapers in daycare centers. Real Diaper Circle Leader Ann Maclean is collecting data to make the case for cloth diapers in daycare, and we need your help. Please take just a minute to let us know your experiences, so we can encourage more daycare centers across the USA to accept cloth diapers.

Based on the information collected, we will create an action plan. RDA Board member Angelique Mullen is a survey and data analyst. She will be aggregating survey results for Ann. The results of their research, along with the proposed plan, will first be shared with those who participated in the survey. No one's personal information will be shared, and only Ann and Angelique will have access to the raw data. Together we can make a positive and permanent change!

We want to hear your positive as well as negative experiences --- and your past as well as present experiences.

If you have several different daycare experiences to share, please enter each one in a separate form.

If you would like to contact Ann directly, please click on the following link to send an email to daycare survey.
