Follow through with community coordinated plans - firm up individual responsibilities. Suggest ways to honor their Child Care Provider on May 11, 2001. Be sure to include ideas that keep smaller budgets in mind such as personal hand written notes or small remembrances from the children. Press releases should be sent 1 to 2 weeks in advance with a follow-up 1 to 2 days before. Capitalize on press connections to other child care events such as Worthy Wage Day, the Week of the Young Child or Stand for Children.
