Communities Across the County Say #ThankYouChildCare

You don't need to have children in your care in order to benefit from the incredible work of child care providers. Join community leaders, businesses, nonprofits, families and others to record a short message of appreciation. In the words of some of our featured contributors: 

"Providers are the lifeblood of child care. Child care, specifically for the military, is both a quality of life and mission readiness factor."

"I want to thank all the Indiana providers I work with who I know have such full plates and still are always striving to create the best, healthiest, most loving environments."

"Because of [child care professionals], my son knows colors, numbers [...] his favorite song is 'The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round.'"
