Changing The World One Child At A Time

PROCLAIMING CHILD CARE PROVIDER

APPRECIATION DAY

National Child Care Provider Day is annually celebrated on the Friday before Mother’s Day. This special day recognizes child care providers, teachers, and other educators of young children across our nation.

As we have seen through the COVID pandemic, child care is an essential service and Solano Family & Children’s Services (SFCS) believes that child care providers should be recognized for their dedication, commitment, and perseverance. As a result, SFCS is presenting a Resolution of the Solano County Board of Supervisors proclaiming May 7, 2021, as

“Child Care Provider Appreciation Day” in Solano County.

Please join us on April 27, 2021 at 5:30 PM
for a presentation of the Resolution to the First 5 Commission. https://www.solanocounty.com/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?BlobID=34778

On May 4, 2021, at 9:00 AM,
the official presentation will be at the Solano County Board of Supervisors meeting.
Two child care providers will be speaking briefly on what being a licensed provider means to them
and what helped them to provide services to their families during COVID.

Also, join us on Thursday, May 6, 2021, from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM
for a virtual Provider Appreciation presentation where SFCS celebrates you!
