Proclamation – Child Care Worker & Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Day, October 18, 2022

“Whereas years of research confirms the benefits of high-quality child care for young children’s intellectual, emotional, social and physical development and later life outcomes; and

Whereas child care promotes the well-being of children and responds to the needs of parents and the broader community by supporting quality of life so that citizens can fully participate in and contribute to the economic and social life of their community; and

Whereas trained and knowledgeable Early Childhood Educators and child care staff are the key to quality in early learning and child care programs and champions for children;

Now Therefore Be It Resolved That I, Warden Robert Crate, on behalf of Northumberland County Council, do hereby proclaim October 18, 2022, as the 22nd annual 'Child Care Worker & Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Day' in Northumberland County, in recognition of the education, dedication and commitment of child care workers to children, their families and quality of life of the community.”
