Celebration Ideas
Looking for additional ideas on how to celebrate? Here are some tips from child care resource and referral agencies around the country.
- Run a social media contest encouraging families to nominate their provider on social media for a gift basket giveaway. Ask local businesses to contribute an item. – Child Care Aware of Minnesota
- Distribute thank you cards to families and community leaders. Especially encourage young children to put their own “mark” on the card through a drawing or artwork. Provide a drop off box at your CCR&R to collect the cards and then distribute them to providers. – Child Care Resource & Referral of Wisconsin
- Partner with another community organization, like United Way, to distribute celebratory materials, like stickers or send with your next mailing. Include instructions that encourage people to take photos of themselves wearing the stickers. – Child Care Resource & Referral of Wisconsin
- Invite members of the community to record a short message of thanks, and then compile into a montage reel. Share on social media and tag everyone who participated. – New York State Child Care Resource and Referral and TowerLight Minnesota
- Invite child care providers to a self-care workshop focused on growing local produce and preparing nutritious meals. Include an activity kit for growing kitchen herbs and include a gift card to a local home improvement store or gardening center. – PATCH Hawaii
