A senate RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE may 8, 2026 AS "Provider 
Appreciation DAY" IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, Child 
Care Aware of America and organizations nationwide are recognizing Child Care 
Providers on this day; and

Whereas, child 
care providers keep our children safe, nurture their curiosity, and prepare 
them for a lifetime of learning and growth. They are skilled workers who 
provide developmentally, culturally, and linguistically appropriate child care 
that supports each child's health and learning; and

Whereas, child 
care providers are essential to the health of our communities by fostering safe 
and welcoming spaces, supporting working families, and creating enriching 
environments where children develop lifelong skills; and

Whereas, the 
child care system supports children's growth, development, and educational 
advancement while creating positive economic impacts for families and 
communities; and

Whereas, the 
State of South Carolina recognizes that child care has been and continues to be 
a lifeline for families, communities, and the economy; and

Whereas, support 
for affordable, accessible, high-quality child care represents a worthy 
commitment to help families work, support children's healthy development and 
learning, and keep our economy growing. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by 
the Senate:

That the members 
of the South Carolina Senate, by this 
resolution, recognize May 8, 2026 as "Provider Appreciation Day" in South 
Carolina.
