Reps. Filler, O'Malley, Breen, Tyrone Carter, Cavanagh, Garza, Haadsma, Kahle, Koleszar, Marino, Morse, Sneller, Steenland, Thanedar and Weiss offered the following resolution:
A resolution to declare May 4, 2022, as Provider Appreciation Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, National Provider Appreciation Day, was started in 1996 by a group of volunteers in New Jersey. This group saw the need to recognize the tireless efforts of providers who care for children of working parents; and
Whereas, Over half the children under the age of six nationwide are estimated to spend some time in a nonparental care arrangement on a weekly basis, which provides critical enrichment opportunities and nurtures development for children of all backgrounds and is a vital building block of our state economy; and
Whereas, The COVID-19 pandemic has created tremendous hardship for childcare providers and the families of Michigan who depend on them, who have continued to meet the needs of families while risking their health and financial stability to remain open; and
Whereas, Our future depends on the quality of the early childhood experiences provided to young children today; support for high-quality childcare represents a worthy commitment to our children’s future; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 4, 2022, as Provider Appreciation Day in the state of Michigan.
