Our Commitment to Digital Accessibility
FEEA Childcare Services, Inc. is committed to improving digital accessibility for our team, our clients, and our visitors. We work to make our website usable by people with disabilities, including people who navigate using a keyboard, screen reader, or other assistive technology.
This statement applies to feeachildcareservices.com.
Our Accessibility Approach
Our website targets alignment with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA. These guidelines provide a technical framework for making web content more perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. Where practical, we also consider additional accessibility and usability improvements beyond this target.
We use these guidelines to inform our website’s design, development, content, and ongoing maintenance. Our aim is to identify and reduce barriers so visitors can find information and use our services more independently.
Summary of WCAG 2.2 Level AA Alignment
The FEEA Childcare Services, Inc. website has undergone accessibility evaluation and remediation to support alignment with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA. This work addresses both technical accessibility and the practical experience of people using assistive technology.
Scope
The review assessed the website’s pages, content, and interactive features included in the evaluation against applicable WCAG 2.2 Level A and Level AA success criteria. Areas examined included page structure, keyboard navigation, screen-reader interaction, color contrast, alternative text, and form usability.
Method
The evaluation combined automated accessibility checks with manual testing, including keyboard-only navigation, screen-reader testing, contrast analysis, and review across multiple modern browsers. Automated findings were examined in context, and manual testing addressed interactions and usability considerations that automated tools alone cannot reliably assess.
Evaluation Results
As of , the website passed all accessibility evaluations performed within the scope of this review. These results support alignment of the evaluated content and functionality with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. The review was conducted by digital accessibility specialist Matthew Dempsey of Epicpaths.
These findings reflect the website as evaluated on that date. Accessibility remains an ongoing effort: new content, changes to third-party services, and different combinations of browsers and assistive technologies can introduce or reveal additional barriers. We continue to welcome feedback to help identify issues, guide improvements, and support visitors in accessing our information and services.
Accessibility Features and Practices
Our design and maintenance work includes the following accessibility practices:
- Responsive layouts intended to support different screen sizes and browser zoom settings.
- Color choices evaluated against WCAG Level AA contrast requirements.
- Keyboard navigation and skip links to help visitors bypass repeated content.
- A declared page language to support assistive technology.
- Alternative text for informative images and appropriate treatment of decorative images.
- Headings, landmarks, and lists that communicate page structure and support navigation.
- Form labels, instructions, and error messages intended to make forms easier to understand and complete.
- Additional accessible descriptions where controls or icons need context beyond their visual presentation.
- Advance notice where links open a new tab or window.
Third-Party Content and Services
Our website may include third-party tools, embedded content, or links to external websites. Our ability to change these services directly may be limited, and their accessibility can change independently of our website.
