Provider Appreciation Day (also known as Child Care Provider Appreciation Day) started by a group of volunteers in New Jersey in 1996. The group saw the necessity of recognizing the strong and endless efforts of providers who care for children of working parents.
Every year, Provider Appreciation Day is celebrated the Friday before Mother's Day. It serves as a moment for families, communities, and organizations to express gratitude for the individuals who support the cognitive, socio-emotional, and physical development of children.
