Thursday kicks off a short warming period as temperatures reach the upper 40s under mostly sunny skies, followed by a mostly cloudy evening that will lock in some heat and keep the overnight low in the upper 20s.

Every year thousands of American women (almost all women!) make the decision to become a family child care provider. It’s an important decision to take on a job that is not easy. Our society often does not appreciate and recognize the valuable work that child care providers do. But, being a family child care provider is also very rewarding!
