WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to

join Texans across the state in recognizing May 9, 2025, as

Provider Appreciation Day; and

WHEREAS, Provider Appreciation Day is a nationally

celebrated annual event to advocate family child care as a

valuable investment in our children's future and as an

opportunity for quality early childhood education; and

WHEREAS, Professionals who provide family child care play

an important role in cultivating, supporting, and educating

young children in a warm, loving, and culturally competent

environment; and

WHEREAS, These dedicated providers fulfill a vital role by

ensuring the safety and well-being of children in various

settings including day-care facilities, schools, and homes to

allow working parents and families access to the level of care

needed to prepare their children for future success; and

WHEREAS, Texas child-care providers are working with the

National Association for Family Child Care and other

organizations statewide to enhance the quality and availability

of such services; and

occasion to call attention to the importance of quality

child-care services for all children and families in our

communities and to recognize family child care providers,

teachers, and educators for their efforts in caring for the

children of working parents and providing them with quality early

childhood experiences; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th

Legislature, hereby commend the state's family child care

providers on their exemplary contributions to their communities

and extend to all best wishes for a rewarding and memorable

Provider Appreciation Day celebration; and, be it further
