Early childhood education programs have been on the<br \/>\n    frontlines caring for the children of our essential workers. They have been making difficult decisions about whether to remain open or close their<br \/>\n    doors, keeping informed on rapidly changing protocols to keep children healthy, dealing with financial uncertainty, navigating financial relief programs<br \/>\n    and much more. Despite the challenges, early educators continue to take steps to do what is best for children and families. These professionals are<br \/>\n    among this country\u2019s unsung heroes. Help celebrate their spirit, rain or shine!<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<h3>Ways to Say &#8220;Thank You&#8221;<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Say \u201cthank you\u201d on our gratitude wall below!\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>From May 4 to 8, use the materials in the below <strong>Thank You Toolkit<\/strong> in your social media posts, along with the hashtags: #ProviderAppreciationDay<br \/>\n        #ThanksEarlyEducators<\/li>\n<li>Have children draw pictures, take a photo of them, then text or email to their early educators.<\/li>\n<li>Video chat with your early educator and say \u201cthank you\u201d face-to-face. <\/li>\n<li>Get <a href=\"http:\/\/providerappreciationday.org\/for-parents\">more ideas here<\/a>. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please tell families, businesses, organizations and others about this important occasion and share the tips above as examples of ways to show gratitude<br \/>\n    to Alaska\u2019s early childhood educators on May 8.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/info.childcareaware.org\/blog\/national-provider-appreciation-day-how-to-celebrate-providers-in-unprecedented-times\">Learn more about Child Care Provider Appreciation Day<\/a>        (Child Care Aware of America)<\/li>\n<li>Follow<strong> thread\u2019s<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/threadalaska.org\/\">Facebook page<\/a> for more tips and tools! <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Gratitude Wall<\/h3>\n<p>Thank your early childhood educator on our gratitude wall!
