Idaho and Texas schools offer on-site daycare for teachers, addressing childcare needs and supporting mental health.

In states with limited funding for early childhood education, some schools are providing on-site daycare for teachers, acting as a retention tool and ensuring young students are prepared for kindergarten. In Idaho and Texas, this initiative helps address the child care needs of teachers, who can struggle to find affordable options, and supports their mental health. These schools offer quality, affordable childcare for both teachers and, in some cases, first responders in the area.
