\n\tFriday, May 12, is National Provider Appreciation Day. On this day we honor those who nurture, teach, and care for children in multiple settings across the country; however, it is important that we recognize these individuals year-round for the critical role they serve in providing high-quality child care.<\/p>\n
\n\tChild Care Aware\u00ae of America<\/a> has joined with partners to highlight exceptional early childhood educators on a monthly basis. Their Provider of the Month<\/a> award recognizes early childhood educators who exemplify extraordinary qualities and characteristics. The Provider of the Month will be featured in a Child Care of Aware\u00ae of America blog post, highlighted in various e-newsletter publications by Provider Appreciation Day partners, and their story shared on social media and to their local news outlets.<\/p>\n \n\tDo you know an outstanding early childhood educator who is deserving of the Provider of the Month award?<\/p>\n
