Provider Appreciation Day is approaching on May 9, the Department of Early Learning and Care (DELC) would like to have the opportunity to highlight you and your staff on our social media and blog.
Provider Appreciation Day is an annual celebration on the Friday before Mother’s Day that recognizes the work of childcare providers, teachers, and other educators of young children. If you would consider sending in a photo of yourself, your staff, or the whole team (no children pictured), we would love to celebrate this important day with you and honor your time and efforts in this way.
Please be sure to fill out the attached photo release form and include signatures from each adult in the photo.
Please do not include children! While we would love to highlight your work directly with kiddos, we know it can be difficult to manage photo releases with families, and we do not want to burden you by asking you to make that happen.
Any photo submitted by 4 pm on May 5 will be included in the DELC celebration posts as long as photo releases are provided. Thank you for your consideration.
You can submit your photo by emailing the DELC Communications Team at DELC.Communications@DELC.oregon.gov. Feel free to let us know the name of your center or program in the subject line of your email.
Thank you for all that you do for Oregon’s littlest learners.
