Parental Experiences with Multilingualism in Childcare

Dear parent/guardian,


As part of a graduation research project, we would like to gain more insight into how parents with a multilingual home environment experience the care provided for their child(ren). Your answers will help us improve support and communication in a multilingual setting.


The questionnaire is anonymous, takes approximately 5–8 minutes to complete, and all data will be treated confidentially.
