PROVIDER APPRECIATION DAY

Provider Appreciation Day will be celebrated again this year on May 9th.  Communities throughout the United States will mark the occasion with creative and caring celebrations.  For example, the Los Alamos (New Mexico) County Council will proclaim Provider Appreciation Day at their May 6, 2003 meeting.  The Maternal & Child Health Council will deliver trays of baked goods with handwritten cares and a copy of the proclamation to each day care center and those home providers that are nominated by the community.  They will also recognize providers at the YMCA after school sites.  A plan is in the works to build a "brick wall" (hand made bricks with the name of each provider) in the lobby of the Mesa Public Library so residents can see how important day care is in the community.  And, Bonnie Gordon of the Los Alamos Monitor is writing a positive story about day care providers in Los Alamos.
