The last year has been challenging for everyone, but it has renewed our deep appreciation for those who provide child care and the essential role it plays for our families, our communities, and our state. Quality child care and preschool helps children learn and develop the skills and abilities they need for success in school and in life. And this year has reminded us that Arizonans from all walks of life can’t do what we do without these dedicated caregivers.
Throughout the month of May, First Things First invites you to share the care and say thank you to the child care providers, preschool teachers, early learning professionals, and family, friends, and neighbors who care for our babies, toddlers, and preschoolers.
