6.3.7 El Día de los Niños

El Día de los Niños began in the Latino community and has expanded to include all children. Many nations throughout the world celebrate “Día de los Niños” in April each year to “honor and celebrate children—who represent the hope and dreams of every community.” 
According to the official El Día de los Niños website, “in the United States, a growing number of cities, schools, libraries, museums, churches and other community organizations are embracing this celebration by planning activities and events that:

• Are fun and exciting


• Center around children’s interests


• Develop skills
• Instill confidence


• Capture children’s dreams and hopes


• Involve families and community
• Reflect cultural diversity


• Inspire and empower new generations of achievers


• Create advocacy for children’s issues


• Engage civic leaders, media, sponsors and volunteers”



Quality Care for Children is proud to be a part of the El Día de los Niños tradition and to bring this celebration to Atlanta.

El Día de los Niños – a Celebration of ALL Children, April 19, 2012

As tough economic times continue to put a strain on families and the child care services they use in Georgia, a group of concerned citizens led by Quality Care for Children and Georgia First Lady, Sandra Deal, is hoping a major fundraising event in April will bring more money and awareness to what has become an urgent and growing problem this year.
