You are invited to participate in a study about communicating the benefits of play based learning to families of students. I am looking to see how early childhood centers communicate the benefits of play based learning with families. I will be looking at various schools based in different philosophies and will be analyzing the similarities and differences based on the survey responses. The study entails a short open-ended survey that will only take a few minutes to complete. All questions were designed to explore communication patterns within the early childhood school at which you are employed. Findings of the study will be shared with all participants within two weeks of participation. All participant information will be coded in order to keep confidentiality. Participants may withdraw at any time without question. All data will be disposed of after completion of the study.
Thank you for taking the time to participate, it will serve as a great aid to my master’s research. The survey can be found by following the link https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FLK5KDL.
