There is some confusion among residents —particularly young parents —about the <br />difference between supervised child care and licensed child care. Even so, 34% of the <br />parents of young children would be apt to use a supervised child care service while at the <br />Center. Twenty-seven percent of the parents of children less than six years old would be <br />apt to enroll in licensed child care offered at the Center. <br />8. Seventy percent of the households think members will visit the Community Family <br />Center either occasionally or frequently. In fact, 47% of the households think at least <br />one member will visit the Center at least weekly. Similarly, 65% think household <br />members will visit occasionally, perhaps monthly. <br />9. Distance from the Center is a minor issue for respondents from households with at <br />least one member potentially visiting the facility either frequently or occasionally. The <br />table below shows the percentage of potential user households who are "much less <br />likely" to do so as their distance from the Center increases. <br />.
