Full-Time Childcare in Star
Comprehensive Care That Grows with Your Child
Balancing full-time work with the needs of young children requires a childcare partner who offers more than supervision—you need someone who nurtures development, maintains routines, and treats your child like family. I'm Faye Heilesen, and I've built my home-based daycare in Star to serve dual-working-parent households who need consistent, high-quality care from morning through evening. My full-time program combines structured learning, play, meals, naps, and age-appropriate activities in a setting that feels like home.
Star families know that finding reliable, full-day childcare in the Treasure Valley can be difficult, especially when you want something more personal than a large center. Research shows children thrive in smaller care settings where they receive individualized attention and develop secure attachments with caregivers. That's the foundation of my program—consistent routines, responsive care, and a genuine commitment to each child's growth and happiness.
I serve infants, toddlers, and preschoolers from Star, Middleton, Eagle, and surrounding Boise communities. Each day follows a rhythm that balances learning activities, sensory play, outdoor exploration, and rest, all tailored to the developmental needs of mixed-age groups.
Star offers a quieter, more rural feel compared to Boise's urban core, and many families here value home-based care that reflects that environment. I've designed my full-time program to take advantage of our location—children enjoy outdoor time during Star's mild summers, and we adapt indoor activities during the snowy winter months that are common in the Treasure Valley. Each day includes age-differentiated learning, creative play, nutritious meals, and structured nap times that help children feel secure and rested.
Because I care for smaller groups than most centers, I'm able to respond to each child's unique needs, whether that's extra support during transitions or encouragement to try new activities. National studies confirm that children in low-ratio care settings demonstrate stronger language development and social skills. I see this every day in my program—children grow confident, curious, and connected to their peers.
I also understand the logistics facing families who commute into Boise for work. My hours accommodate early drop-offs and late pickups, and I maintain clear communication throughout the day. Contact me today to discuss full-time openings and enrollment options for Full-Time Childcare in Star.
