Celebrating Mother’s Day and Provider Appreciation Day with the FFYF Team

With Mother’s Day this Sunday and Provider Appreciation Day on May 8th, it’s important to recognize and appreciate the important partnerships between mothers, child care providers, and early educators. 

Child care and early learning programs allow mothers to stay in the workforce and support their families. Limited access to affordable, quality programs can force mothers to leave their jobs, limiting their lifetime earnings and economic contributions. 

This Mother’s Day, we’re amplifying the voices of working mothers on our own team and recognizing the integral work of mothers, providers, and educators everywhere.

When mothers lack these necessary services, it impacts both their short-term financial security and their long-term retirement savings. To correct this, Congress needs to protect and prioritize support for working parents, child care providers, and early educators, ensuring that children across the nation get the care they deserve.

Happy Mother’s Day from FFYF!
