In fact, 15% of Alaska\u2019s workforce wouldn\u2019t be at their job today without child care. This valuable support you provide for working families also plays a crucial role in strengthening Alaska\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tNot only do you support today\u2019s workforce, but you are shaping the future workforce. More than half of the children in Alaska under 6 years of age receive care from someone else besides a parent or guardian \u2013 in other words, child care providers!<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe important work you do every day plays a vital role in preparing our children for success in school and life. We know that the first five years of life are a critical period in brain development. During these early years, the brain makes 700 neural connections per second! You keep our children safe and healthy as well as nurture their social skills, early literacy skills, creativity, and so much more.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWe are so thankful for you!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","news_tags":[],"event_category":[],"news_categories":[],"class_list":["post-37171","thread-blog","type-thread-blog","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>May 12 is Child Care Provider Appreciation Day - Thread<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.threadalaska.org\/thread-blog\/may-12-is-child-care-provider-appreciation-day-2-3\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"May 12 is Child Care Provider Appreciation Day - Thread\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In honor of Provider Appreciation Day, thread says thank you to all of Alaska&#8217;s early childhood educators and child care professionals.
