Feathers and Friends Child Care is a small, in-home child care provider, located in Carey, ID, who is in the time consuming and costly process of becoming a licensed child care center with the State of Idaho. Due to the location of the provider being in a residential zoned area, the City of Carey requires Feathers and Friends Child Care to apply for a Conditional Use Permit to operate as a business. The Conditional Use Permit Application has a fee of $425, which is significantly more than any other fee of its kind, even the one for Blaine County which includes the millionaire town of Sun Valley. The purpose of this petition is to gather support for the Conditional Use Permit Application Fee to be waived for Feathers and Friends Child Care. Thank you for your support!

I am truly overwhelmed by the momentum building around this request. Seeing so many people recognize the importance of keeping child care accessible in our community is entirely thanks to your kindness.

With Carey being such a small community and not many options for child care I don’t feel that the fee should be applied here. The daycare is a wonderful place my daughter loves it and the kids are well cared for.

Nikki is a massive asset to our community. Without her service there would be many families impacted with their ability to work and afford to live in our community.

Our little community is in desperate need of quality childcare options. Unfortunately, the cost that the city has imposed to allow this to company to become a reality is too restrictive. I therefore fully support allowing them to obtain the permit without the associated costs.

Your daycare is so needed! I hope Carey’s Mayor and staff will stop making things so difficult for Carey’s citizens. It is sad how so many people have been treated.
