Senate Resolution No. recognizes Friday, May 9, 2025, as Child Care Provider Appreciation Day in Louisiana. This resolution highlights the significant role that child care providers play in the development and education of children, as well as their positive impact on families and communities. With nearly 11 million children under age five cared for by 2.8 million providers across the United States, the resolution emphasizes the importance of supporting affordable and high-quality child care to foster healthy development and economic growth.

The resolution acknowledges the contributions of the Child Care Association of Louisiana, a nonprofit organization that advocates for licensed child care providers and the children they serve. It calls for recognition of the dedication of child care providers, teachers, directors, and staff who are instrumental in creating enriching environments for children. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the president and executive director of the Child Care Association of Louisiana to further honor their efforts in the field.
