CHEQ Leaders

Welcome CHEQ Leaders!

Thank you for leading the CHEQ project in your school. The information you help collect provides the first insights into the families and children entering kindergarten at your school. This data can be used to help guide evidence-based decision-making to improve initiatives for children and families. We want to express our sincerest gratitude for your commitment to supporting the CHEQ and making sure we hear from as many parents/caregivers as we can. This would not be possible without your dedication during an already busy time of year.
