CHEQ COVID Rapid Report 2021 (PDF)

2021

The Childhood Experiences Questionnaire (CHEQ) is a questionnaire completed by parents and caregivers at the start of the kindergarten school year. It is an innovative way to learn about and report on children’s experiences in their early environments, focusing on specific areas of development that are strongly linked to children’s health and well-being, education and social outcomes. The information collected is valuable, providing insight into how communities and schools can support children and their families prior to school entry. This year, it is also providing meaningful information about the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The CHEQ Project provided a timely opportunity for researchers at HELP to gather information on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on kindergarten children and their families in different regions of British Columbia. In addition to completing the standard CHEQ questionnaire, families where asked additional questions that centered on the impacts of COVID-19 on parents, caregivers, children and families. These questions asked about changes in experiences during two time periods: Pre-pandemic to April 2020 (acute phase) and April to October 2020 (ongoing impact). Findings from the CHEQ provided evidence of the challenges and changes children and families in communities in BC experienced during this pandemic.
