Stanislaus County program aims to bring more daycares to area
STANISLAUS COUNTY – Two local nonprofits have teamed up to create The In-Home Child Care Expansion Project. Stanislaus 2030 and Nurture have brought 67 new daycares to Stanislaus County since fall 2023, with plans on bringing 230 by the end of 2026.
"There was a huge shortage of child care providers in our region, and the number one issue we saw was that we needed 17,000 more infant and toddler slots in order to meet workforce demand," Stanislaus 2030 Executive Director Amanda Hughes said.
Hughes said the county lost the most in-home daycares during the 2008 housing crisis. The total in-home daycares went from over 700 to under 300.
Just last year, Stanislaus County invested $1 million into the program.
"In the Central Valley, you can bring in revenue, about $73,000 a year, and net, after all of your expenses, about $50,000 a year, which is a good job. And it's a good job for people who may not have other opportunities. So there are really low barriers to entry here, and you can get a license by the state of California, even if you don't have a high school diploma, even if you don't speak English, that this is an opportunity to have a family sustaining wage," said Hughes

Decision day looms in the Wirtz saga as Manchester City await his decision
The saga that threatens to dominate the summer transfer window may have a deadline. Florian Wirtz is the most in-demand player who is potentially available this summer. Manchester City are in the thick of the race to sign the German international. Sacha Tavolieri reported via his official X account that City are the best-placed English side to sign Wirtz. Now, a new report from Florian Plettenberg indicates that a decision from Wirtz on his future may be imminent. Bayer Leverkusen want a decision from Florian Wirtz on his intentions for the summer by next week. Florian Plettenberg has reported via his official X account that Bayer Leverkusen want a decision on his summer intentions from Florian Wirtz next week. Furthermore, Plettenberg reports that Bayer Leverkusen will demand €150 million to sell Wirtz this summer. Plettenberg adds that Bayer Leverkusen are yet to receive an official bid from Manchester City, Bayern Munich or Liverpool for Wirtz. Lastly, Plettenberg reports that Real Madrid could yet Manchester City are awaiting a decision from Florian Wirtz over this summer plans. enter the race to sign Wirtz if they sell Rodrygo. Advertisement Manchester City will know whether or not they got their man relatively soon. It now seems that the Florian Wirtz saga will have an answer relatively quickly. From a Manchester City point of view, they should know what their summer transfer plans look like once Wirtz's decision is made. City will be hoping that their strong relationship with Bayer Leverkusen can help them sign the playmaker they are screaming out for. That remains to be seen at this stage of proceedings. To counter Plettenberg's report that no club has agreed a deal with Leverkusen to sign their prized asset, Sacha Tavolieri has previously reported that City have found a verbal agreement with Bayer Leverkusen over a deal that would see Wirtz land at the Etihad. Now, all that awaits is a decision from Wirtz over his future. But it seems that Manchester City have laid all of the groundwork that could see them land the biggest fish in the summer transfer window. If Manchester City could sign the German international, they'd land the attacking midfielder that they could build Pep Guardiola's squad around for next season and beyond.

Shift4 appoints new CEO
This story was originally published on Payments Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Payments Dive newsletter. Shift4 named founder Jared Isaacman as executive chairman after President Donald Trump abruptly dropped the executive's nomination to run NASA over the weekend, the digital processor said in a regulatory filing Thursday. "Mr. Isaacman will remain an executive officer and Class I member of the Board," the filing said. The change is effective on Thursday, according to the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Allentown, Pennsylvania-based payments processing company had selected Shift4 President Taylor Lauber to succeed Isaacman if Trump's December nomination was confirmed by the Senate, but the chamber never voted on it. Isaacman, who has been the company's CEO and chairman since it was founded in 1999, will retain his super voting shares in Shift4, according to the filing. Lauber said during an April earnings call that Isaacman would convert his class B and class C shares into class A shares, which are worth a single vote per share. That agreement was "subject to several conditions, including the ratification and confirmation by the U.S. Senate of Mr. Isaacman's appointment as administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration," the SEC filing said. "As a result of this condition not being met, Mr. Isaacman is no longer required to reduce his voting shares." Isaacman had a 76% voting power ownership stake in Shift4, according toan April 30 proxy filing. Trump cited Isaacman's "prior associations" when he withdrew the NASA nomination. The president pulled the nomination over the Shift4 founder's past contributions to Democrats, according to a report from the New York Times. However, Isaacman suggested on a Wednesday episode o fthe All-In podcast that his ties to billionaire SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk cost him the nomination, Bloomberg reported. Musk may also have helped him win the nomination from Trump, given Isaacman's participation in past SpaceX missions. Recommended Reading Shift4 CEO likely to keep post
