About Faye's Family Daycare in Boise, ID
Founded by a Childcare Professional with 47+ Years in Boise
When you bring your child to my home in Boise, you're trusting someone who has devoted nearly five decades to early childhood care. I'm Faye Heilesen, and I started this licensed family daycare because I wanted to care for children while raising my own—and what began as a small effort with my sister during my first pregnancy has become a lifelong calling.
Today, I offer full-time and part-time childcare for infants, toddlers, and school-age children in a safe, structured, home-like environment. My mission is simple: to create a space where your child feels supported, nurtured, and ready to grow—and where you feel confident leaving them each day.
I believe in consistency, communication, and building trust with the families I serve. Every child deserves a caring adult who listens, engages, and helps them discover the world around them.
Discover how my experience and dedication can support your family in Boise.
I've had the privilege of caring for generations of children right here in Boise. From the tree-lined neighborhoods near the Bench to families closer to downtown, I've watched children grow, learn, and thrive in my care. My home is licensed, welcoming, and designed with your child's development in mind.
Each day includes story time, hands-on learning with colors, shapes, and the alphabet, outdoor play when the weather cooperates, and quiet nap time after a well-balanced meal. I'm part of the meal program, so your child receives breakfast, lunch, and snacks—no matter when they're in my care.
I'm proud to support working parents and families across Boise, and I work with you to make childcare fit your life. I know this community, and I treat every child as if they were my own.

Where Experience in Early Childhood Education Meets a Grandma's Care
Parents often tell me it feels like their child is spending the day with grandma—but a grandma with decades of professional childcare experience. I bring structure, warmth, and a genuine love for what I do. My background includes infant care, toddler development, and early learning activities rooted in play, exploration, and curiosity.
I currently have limited space and am accepting new applications. Contact me today to schedule a tour so your child can meet the other kids, explore the space with you, and see if my family daycare feels like the right fit. I'd love to meet your family and talk about how I can support your child's early years here in Boise, ID.
