House Resolution No. by Representative Hilferty designates May 12, 2025, as "A Day Without Child Care" at the Louisiana state capitol to raise awareness about the critical state of early childhood education in Louisiana. The resolution highlights the significant underfunding of early childhood education, which affects access to care for families and contributes to high turnover rates among educators due to low wages. It emphasizes the economic impact of child care disruptions, costing the state $1.3 billion annually, and calls attention to the need for better pay and working conditions for early childhood educators, who are essential to supporting working families and the overall economy.

The resolution also recognizes the efforts of For Providers By Providers (4PXP), Louisiana's only provider-led early childhood education organization, in coordinating the National Day Without Child Care. It encourages all Louisianians to acknowledge the contributions of child care providers and advocates for a fully funded child care system that supports families and strengthens the economy. By designating this day, the resolution aims to elevate the voices of educators, families, and providers in the ongoing fight for equitable access to affordable child care and improved conditions for early childhood educators.
