Senate lauds Thriving Families California Foundation on 50th anniversary
Summary
The California Senate adopted SCR 186 recognizing the Thriving Families California Foundation's five decades of work supporting childcare and early learning programs statewide; the resolution passed unanimously and foundation leaders were introduced on the floor.
The California State Senate unanimously adopted Senate Concurrent Resolution 186 on the floor, recognizing the Thriving Families California Foundation as it marks its 50th year in advocacy and service for childcare and early learning across all 58 counties.
Senator Grayson presented the resolution and said the foundation has supported alternative payment programs and CalWORKs childcare networks that reach hundreds of thousands of children. "This network reaches families in all 58 counties and supports more than 260,000 children," he said. Grayson asked colleagues for an "I" vote; the secretary called the roll and the resolution passed with Ayes 36 and Noes 0.
The senator introduced guests from the foundation to the gallery, listing CEO Deneen Micheletti, government affairs director Mackenzie Richardson, and communications and government affairs manager Adelia Watson. The floor recognition highlighted the foundation's role in helping parents remain in the workforce, advancing early learning and parental choice, and strengthening local economies.
The resolution is ceremonial and does not create new policy or funding. Members welcomed the guests and the Senate moved on to other business.
