Activities include tummy time, soft play, gentle music, and age-appropriate toys that encourage early learning. At Faye's Family Daycare, I offer personalized daily updates and small group sizes so each infant gets consistent, attentive care.

  • How does toddler care support social development?

    Toddler care focuses on socialization, communication, and exploration through hands-on activities like building blocks, crafts, and story time. I guide toddlers through structured routines that help them develop emotional regulation, cooperation, and independence. Small group sizes mean I can give each child individualized attention in a calm, home-based setting.

  • What's included in a preschool readiness program?

    I introduce early literacy, number recognition, shapes, colors, and basic problem-solving through fun, guided activities. Sensory-rich projects like art, music, and group play help children build focus, confidence, and social skills. At Faye's Family Daycare, I prepare kids for Boise preschool and kindergarten expectations in a calm, individualized environment.

  • How does home-based childcare differ from a daycare center?

    Home-based care offers smaller group sizes, a consistent caregiver, and a calm, family-like environment with individualized attention. Children experience predictable routines, less noise, and more one-on-one interaction throughout the day. I provide the same structured learning and developmental support as centers, but in a nurturing home setting that feels comfortable and secure.

  • What meals and snacks do you provide during childcare?

    I'm on a meal program, so kids receive well-balanced meals regardless of when they're in my care. I offer breakfast, lunch, and morning and afternoon snacks that meet nutritional standards. Meals are included as part of the daily routine, giving parents peace of mind about their child's nutrition throughout the day.

  • What outdoor activities are available during Boise's weather changes?

    I provide outdoor time during good weather, including sensory play, nature exploration, and gardening activities. When Boise's weather isn't ideal, I offer engaging indoor activities like story time, art projects, music, and hands-on learning. Children benefit from both active outdoor play and calm indoor routines year-round.

  • How do flexible scheduling options work for parents?

    I offer customizable scheduling for parents with rotating shifts, hybrid work schedules, or nontraditional hours. Even with flexible attendance, children follow consistent daily routines that keep them grounded and secure. I work with families to create a schedule that fits their life while maintaining structure and stability for their child.

  • What should parents expect during a daycare tour?

    During a tour, new families can meet the other children, explore the space, and see where daily activities happen. It's a chance for your child to get comfortable with me and the environment before their first day. I encourage parents to ask questions about routines, meals, learning activities, and how I communicate throughout the day.

  • What are the biggest benefits of small group childcare?

    Small groups mean more individualized attention, stronger caregiver bonds, and routines tailored to each child's developmental stage. Children receive focused support during learning activities, meals, and play, which builds confidence and security. At Faye's Family Daycare, I can respond quickly to each child's needs and communicate closely with parents every day.

  • How does before school care help kids start their day?

    I provide a calm, structured morning routine with quiet play, light breakfast if needed, and time to mentally prepare for school. Kids arrive to a predictable environment that reduces stress and helps them feel ready to learn. At Faye's Family Daycare, I make sure children transition smoothly and arrive at school on time.

  • What happens during after school care hours?

    After school, I offer a supportive routine with homework time, snacks, outdoor play when weather allows, and relaxing activities like crafts or reading. It's a safe, calm space where kids can unwind after a busy school day. I provide individualized help and supervision in a home environment that feels comfortable and predictable.

  • What early learning activities prepare toddlers for preschool?

    I use sensory activities, art, music, storytelling, puzzles, and guided play to build early cognitive and social skills. Activities teach colors, shapes, the alphabet, and simple problem-solving in a fun, hands-on way. At Faye's Family Daycare, children develop focus, cooperation, and confidence that prepare them for Boise preschool classrooms.
