Care That Works Around Your Schedule

Book Part-Time Childcare in Boise

You don't always need full-time care, but you still want your child in a safe, structured environment when you do. I'm Faye Heilesen, and I run Faye's Family Daycare here in Boise, offering part-time childcare options that work with your variable schedule. Whether you work hybrid hours, have part-day commitments, or need care a few days a week, I provide a home-based setting where your child can build routines, play with peers, and participate in early learning activities.

Part-time care in Boise fits the needs of families with flexible work environments and local routines that don't require a five-day commitment. I keep group sizes small, maintain consistent daily schedules, and make sure every child feels comfortable and engaged—even if they're only here a few times a week. Families from nearby communities also rely on my part-time services when they need predictable care without a full-time enrollment.

How Our Process Works

When you enroll your child on a part-time basis, I work with you to set up a schedule that aligns with your work hours and family needs. Some families choose two or three days a week, while others prefer alternating weeks or half-day sessions. No matter the arrangement, your child follows the same daily routine as full-time enrollees, which helps them feel grounded and confident.

At Faye's Family Daycare, I plan structured play, social interactions, and early learning activities that benefit children even when they attend part-time. Each day includes time for creative play, sensory exploration, outdoor activities when weather permits, and meals or snacks depending on your schedule. I communicate openly with parents to make sure everyone stays informed and connected.

I use the same materials, routines, and developmental approaches for part-time and full-time children. Your child participates in the same circle time, art projects, and group activities, so they never feel like they're missing out. Consistency is key, and I make sure every child gets the attention and care they need, no matter how many days they're with me.

What's Included in This Service

Parents considering part-time care often want to know how it compares to full-time enrollment and whether their child will still benefit from structured routines. Here are answers to some of the most common questions I receive from families in Boise.

Can I customize which days my child attends?
Yes, I work with you to create a schedule that fits your needs. Whether it's specific weekdays, alternating weeks, or half-day sessions, I'll do my best to accommodate your family's routine.
Will my child follow the same routine as full-time enrollees?
Absolutely. Part-time children participate in the same daily activities, from circle time and sensory play to outdoor exploration and snack time. Consistency helps them feel comfortable and engaged.
Do you serve families from outside Boise?
Yes, I work with families from nearby communities who need part-time care while commuting into Boise. As long as drop-off and pick-up times work with your schedule, I'm happy to support your family.
What if my schedule changes from week to week?
I understand that some parents have variable work hours. I do my best to accommodate changes with advance notice, and I'll communicate openly to make sure we find a solution that works for everyone.
How do you keep children engaged on a part-time schedule?
I use hands-on activities, group play, and individualized attention to make sure every child feels included and excited to be here. Even if your child attends two or three days a week, they build friendships, learn new skills, and follow routines that support their development.

Part-time childcare gives your family the flexibility you need while still providing your child with a stable, nurturing environment. If you're looking for reliable care that adapts to your schedule, reach out to discuss availability and how I can support your child's growth a few days a week.
