Provider Appreciation Day 2026

Child care providers and early educators are an important foundation to our community and deserve every bit of thanks we can give them for the hard work and genuine care they provide in serving children and families. 

Both local and statewide partners and leaders joined our campaign to share appreciation to the child care and early education workforce.
