SR 115 Louisiana Senate · 2026 Regular Session

SPECIAL DAY/WEEK/MONTH: Designates Tuesday, May 12, 2026, as A Day Without Child Care Day at the Louisiana State Capitol.

This resolution designates Tuesday, May 12, 2026, as A Day Without Child Care Day at the Louisiana State Capitol to raise awareness about early childhood education challenges. The measure directly affects child care providers, educators, and families by acknowledging the workforce crisis caused by low wages and high staff turnover in the sector. It serves as a symbolic gesture supporting the National Day Without Child Care initiative, which advocates for better funding and working conditions for early childhood educators. The bill does not change laws or allocate money but formally recognizes the date for advocacy and reflection on the state's child care system.

The scope of the resolution's justification was expanded from a simple designation to a comprehensive statement of facts regarding the early childhood education crisis in Louisiana.

REQUIREMENT

Added multiple 'Whereas' clauses detailing the economic impact of child care disruption, the lack of benefits for providers, and the specific role of the 'For Providers By Providers' organization in coordinating the event.

TECHNICAL

Replaced the brief original purpose statement with a detailed preamble explaining the rationale for the designation, including statistics on wages and staff turnover.

Updated the document header and footer to reflect the 'Enrolled' status and removed the legislative digest and services notes found in the original draft.
