Toddler Care (2–3 years) in Garden City
Building Confidence Through Play and Structure
Toddlers are natural explorers, and your child deserves care that channels their curiosity into meaningful growth. I'm Faye Heilesen, and I provide toddler care in my licensed home setting serving Garden City and nearby Boise communities. My program balances guided learning with free play, helping toddlers develop motor skills, communication, and emotional regulation in a warm, structured environment.
Garden City's proximity to Boise's active family neighborhoods means parents value caregivers who understand both the energy and the emotional needs of toddlers navigating big developmental leaps. Research confirms that toddlers exposed to consistent routines and small-group socialization demonstrate stronger independence and problem-solving abilities. I welcome families who want a home-based setting that feels personal, safe, and intentional.
From building blocks to story time, every activity I plan supports your toddler's emerging sense of self. My approach honors their need for exploration while providing the gentle boundaries that help them feel secure and capable.
Toddlers thrive when caregivers offer both freedom and structure, and that's exactly what I provide. My daily schedule includes hands-on activities like crafts, simple building projects, and group play that encourage cooperation and turn-taking. Garden City families appreciate a provider who values communication milestones and supports language development through songs, books, and conversation throughout the day.
Boise's seasonal weather patterns allow for varied indoor and outdoor play, and I take advantage of mild days to offer supervised outdoor time in a safe, enclosed space. Toddlers benefit from sensory-rich experiences—textures, sounds, movement—that build neural connections and physical coordination. Studies show that toddlers engaging in diverse play environments develop stronger spatial awareness and creativity.
I maintain small group sizes so I can respond to each child's unique temperament and learning style. Whether your toddler is cautious or exuberant, I tailor activities to meet them where they are. Drop-off and pick-up are convenient for working parents throughout Garden City and Boise.
