Moab Community Childcare has really taken off this year. Aiming to improve the availability of high-quality childcare in the valley, the nonprofit is opening new infant care services while also supporting other childcare providers in Moab. “The speed at which we've been running is because people keep giving us water and cheering us on,” says board chair Rob Walker. “The support has been awesome.” Plus, an annual report on childhood well-being rates Utah among the best in the country. But advocates warn that the report also points to a growing mental-health crisis. And later, journalists join the trend of unionization across the country and a report on a proposal that could help restore wolf and beaver populations.
