Dear Early Educators,

Provider Appreciation Day is a special day to recognize child care providers, teachers and other educators of young children. Today we celebrate YOU and your commitment to the children and families of Pinellas County.

Each day, you take on the challenge and responsibility of cultivating the minds of our community's most precious resource, our young children. You are building the foundation of success in your centers and homes. It is because of your educational programs, the children of Pinellas County are entering school ready to learn and exceed expectations.

The Coalition is proud to partner with hundreds of outstanding child care providers in our community. Click here to view a list recognizing providers that have gone above and beyond by being accredited and by participating in some of the Coalition's special quality initiatives.

We are not the only people to recognize the importance of your hard work and contributions to high quality care. Below are links to additional Provider Appreciation Day recognition from around the state.  

Once again, THANK YOU for all that you do and enjoy your special day!
