The mission of National Kids Day is to encourage the nation’s adults—parents, grandparents, relatives, neighbors, teachers, and other caregivers—to spend more meaningful time with America’s children. In this way, we can build a nation of strong, resilient, happy children who know that they are loved by caring adults and can enjoy just being kids!
