Building Confidence Through Play and Learning

Secure Early Learning Activities in Boise

You want your child to grow, explore, and develop the skills they'll need for school and beyond. I'm Faye Heilesen, and I run Faye's Family Daycare in Boise, where I provide age-appropriate early learning activities that support cognitive, emotional, and social growth. From sensory play and art projects to music, storytelling, puzzles, and guided play, I use hands-on activities to help children build confidence and curiosity in a home-based setting.

Early learning in Boise means taking advantage of our seasonal outdoor play opportunities and the family-oriented neighborhoods that encourage active, engaged development. I work with multiple age groups, so toddlers, preschoolers, and older children each receive activities tailored to their developmental stage. Whether your child is learning to stack blocks or practicing early literacy skills, I provide routine, structure, and individualized attention that prepares them for the next step.

Reach out today to see how early learning activities can support your child's development and set them up for success.

What's Included in This Service

Every day at Faye's Family Daycare includes intentional learning opportunities woven into play, exploration, and group activities. I plan lessons around developmental milestones, so toddlers work on fine motor skills with sensory bins and play dough, while preschoolers practice counting, letter recognition, and problem-solving through puzzles and matching games. Outdoor play in Boise's mild seasons adds another layer of learning, from nature walks to playground exploration.

At Faye's Family Daycare, I use music, art, and storytelling to build language skills, creativity, and emotional understanding. Each child receives consistent support from a licensed provider who knows their strengths, challenges, and learning style. I rotate activities weekly, introduce new materials regularly, and create opportunities for both group interaction and independent exploration.

I follow a structured daily routine that includes circle time, free play, guided lessons, snack breaks, and outdoor activities. Children learn through repetition, so I revisit concepts in different ways to reinforce understanding. From sorting shapes to singing songs about colors and numbers, every activity has a purpose and connects to your child's overall development.

Key Benefits of This Service

Parents often want to know how early learning activities translate into real development and school readiness. Below are answers to common questions from Boise families about how I support children's growth through structured, hands-on learning.

What types of activities do you include in early learning?
I use sensory play, art, music, storytelling, puzzles, and guided play to support cognitive, emotional, and social development. Activities are age-appropriate and tailored to each child's developmental stage.
How do you adapt activities for different age groups?
Toddlers focus on sensory exploration, fine motor skills, and language development through play. Preschoolers work on early literacy, counting, problem-solving, and social skills through structured lessons and group activities.

I communicate regularly with parents about what your child is working on, what they're enjoying, and where they're making progress. I share observations, photos, and updates so you can see their development in action.
Can children from surrounding communities participate?
Absolutely. I work with families from outside Boise who want their child to benefit from structured early learning in a home-based setting. As long as drop-off and pick-up times work with your schedule, I'm happy to provide care.
