          Show Early Childhood Educators Your Appreciation!

          April 29, 2025

          A smiling man and woman watch as a young girl colors with crayons at a small table in a cozy, sunlit living room.

          Child care providers, teachers and all early childhood educators play an essential part in the community. Their job goes beyond basic care. It includes teaching, nurturing and creating a safe and stimulating environment for children in their first stages of life.

          Child care providers are celebrated every day, but especially on Provider Appreciation Day, which falls on May 9 this year.

          Here are some fun and easy ways you can join us in celebrating your child’s amazing educators!

With Thanksgiving on the horizon, now is the perfect time to focus on gratitude and the many ways to show it.

          Children are not born feeling grateful so they begin to understand the concept they also need to begin learning how to practice and show it.
