This week is Teacher Appreciation Week, and Friday is Provider Appreciation Day. To every early childhood educator and family child care provider in Minnesota: thank you.

You are doing transformative work every single day: welcoming children into safe, nurturing spaces, helping them build language and curiosity, and supporting families in a time when so much feels uncertain.

In a national climate filled with headlines about fear, funding, and instability, it can be easy to miss what is happening quietly behind the scenes in homes and child care centers. But that work is powerful and life‑shaping.

From all of us at Think Small: we see you, we appreciate you, and we are committed to doing our part to make sure the systems around you reflect the importance of your work.

- Cisa Keller, CEO of Think Small
