One area is the needs of parents and their' chlld care arrangements; the second, the needs of the caregivers of childcare services in Durham Region and last the opinions and experien- ces of key informants. The main issues will be the availability of cbuld care; the cost; the flexible hour arrangements for emergencies, shift work; weekends, holldays; atter school hours; P.D. days and parent relief.
