North Central Early Learning Coalition
Provider Appreciation Day
May 8, 2026
Governor Ferguson signed a proclamation declaring May 8, 2026 as Provider Appreciation Day! Child care providers make it possible for families to work and for businesses to operate. Because of them, parents and caregivers have a trusted place for their children to go, which helps keep our economy strong and our communities thriving.
THANK YOU to providers in our communities who are helping children learn and grow!
