Small Business for America's Future fielded a national survey of more than 1,000 small business owners between August 2nd - 20th, 2021, to to better understand how child care impacts small businesses and how they feel about a variety of policy solutions.

In a preview of the national results, Small Business for America’s Future and Local First Arizona shared the survey responses from Arizona small business owners—which echoed the national findings—during a virtual briefing on August 26th, 2021. The results showed that the majority of the Arizona small business owners surveyed believe that the lack of affordable, high-quality child care for employees has had a negative impact on their business, and most said the federal government has a role to play in supporting universal access to affordable child care.
