A Senate resolution recognizing May 9, 2025, as Family Child Care Provider Appreciation Day and May as the month of the Family Child Care Provider

This Senate resolution formally recognizes May 9, 2025, as Family Child Care Provider Appreciation Day and designates the entire month of May as the Month of the Family Child Care Provider. The bill directly affects the approximately 10,600 licensed family child care providers across Minnesota who operate small businesses in their homes to care for children. Its primary mechanism is a ceremonial declaration that calls on Minnesotans to honor and thank these professionals for their contributions to the state's children and economy. Additionally, the resolution specifically acknowledges Kids-R-It Child Care Center and Preschool and its staff as dedicated examples of quality early childhood education.
