The 4-Day School Week in the Magic Valley Is Already Messing Things Up
It is that time of year. Time to get the kids up and ready for school, to make lunches, and to enjoy the kids being out of the house as they get an education. Those five days a week with them out of the house are glorious for parents. Stay-at-home or work-from-home parents get peace and quiet, have time to get things done, and can run errands stress-free. For parents that work, it saves money on daycare, babysitters, and you don't have to worry what your children are up to. A week of calmness at home in the afternoons is a delight, especially after the summer. While some schools still go five days a week, not all do, and it is causing a massive headache for parents in the Magic Valley.

Why Good Childcare is So Hard to Find in Southern Idaho
Many parents stress and worry about childcare every day, for many reasons. Unless you are a stay-at-home parent, childcare is an everyday stress. Some families are lucky and have a family member or close friend that can watch their children, but for many, it is a nanny you may not have known until you interviewed them, or a daycare that you don't know any of the employees at. In an ideal world, mom or dad or both could stay home with their children forever, but unfortunately, parents have to work and this isn't always an option. It is well known that the childcare system in Idaho is not the best in the country, but why is finding childcare in the Magic Valley so tough?
