Taya's Daycare

Daycare payments are due today!

Daycare payments are due tomorrow!

Our hearts are breaking, along with the rest of you. Yesterday’s disgusting events were horrible in every way. Our hearts ache for those families who lost a loved one and for those who were there to witness and live through this tragedy. 🤍 We cannot imagine the pain and anguish that fill the hearts of Uvalde.

Dave and I hugged all of our babies a little closer, a little longer before bed last night and before school this morning. And, I cried for those who cannot.

We had talks with our children this morning about the importance of lockdown drills and guidelines, again. And, I cried because I had to address it.

We thank educators and staff of schools for going through all of the day to day challenges to be there for our children. But, thanking them isn’t quite enough. 🤍

We will be giving extra hugs to your babies while they’re with us. A trusting and safe environment for them to flourish and be children.

It is going to be a nice week! I’m so thankful we get to enjoy some “Spring weather” before it turns super hot.
We will be spending LOTS of time outside 🌞🤍

We passed another Boise City Inspection! Yeah-ya!

Also, all of your children received MAJOR praise for being so well behaved while the inspector was here 🤍

Good morning-
We hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Just a heads up- we are having concrete poured Wednesday where our camper is currently at. The camper will be in the street from tomorrow until next Tuesday. We will have people working on that area starting tomorrow through Wednesday.

We apologize for any inconvenience this causes for parking 😕

Thank you!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the amazing moms out there!

Update on June 1st:
Based on feedback, we will be open 1/2 day from 7am-1215pm 5hrs 15min). Daily tuition rate will be charge at 1/2 rate for this day.

Thanks for being flexible!
We appreciate you all so much and Harper is SO excited we will get to see her performance and graduation👩🏻‍🎓🤍

The kiddos asked for a pajama day!
Let’s do it!

Friday 5/6 🎉 💃🏼 🕺🏽

Hey guys-

We just received an email that Harper’s kindergarten performance and graduation is on June 1st at 2:30. In a normal job situation, at least one of us could be there for her. But, there’s definitely nothin’ normal about our job haha 🙂 So, I’m struggling to find a solution for all of our families and Harps.

We are wondering if we should simply close June 1st, unpaid? Or, be open from 7-12/1230 for a half day w/ half tuition that day?

Thoughts?! I’d love to hear from you guys and I apologize for the short notice.

It’s May! Which means, we have city & health inspections this month. So, please do not be alarmed when you see Officer T. here with her city issued car or if you hear me chatting with Matt from the health department.
Just our annual inspections and renewal process for our Boise City License! Woot woot!!

Let’s get this 8th inspection passed! 🙌🏼🤞🏼
(0 failed inspections to date 😉)

Here’s our forecast for the week. Lots of rain! We sure do need it 🤍

Good morning!

I hope everyone is staying healthy and quarantining so we can be back at life Monday. We are missing seeing you all and our daily routines with hugs and dance parties.

I’ve been receiving a lot of messages and requests for childcare, stating their facility is operating at high numbers with 1 maybe 2 employees so I wanted to post Boise City Licensing ratios here, state licensing is a little less strict. No one is allowed exceptions at this time for more children than licensed for.

Did you know that in Boise, it is required by city law to be licensed to watch ANY children unrelated to the provider in their home for the exchange of money? I didn’t either until I started doing the work to become a provider. This means we pay $$$ every year (or every other year) to get finger printed, do 10 hours of required training, keep up on CPR/first aid certifications, background checks, get inspected by the city and health department.

Dave and I have a group facility license, a license for 12 children, which had to be approved by our neighbors and Boise City Planning and Zoning.

With that 12 kiddo head count comes a point system. Dave and I each have 12 points, a total of 24 points, for our facility. This includes our own children when they’re home. This part not many know about. So, here’s the breakdown:
2 years old and under: 2.4 points
2 years old: 2 points
3 years old - 4 years old: 1.2 points
5 years old -12 years old: 1 point

I know childcare is extremely hard to find but these are your babies. Please ensure you’re checking to see if the facility is state or city licensed (Boise license supersedes state licensing). Most other surrounding cities allow in home daycares to operate without any licensing or inspections or certifications if they stay at 6 kids or under, INCLUDING their own kids.

Get on waitlists for preschool and daycares early!! Call 211 or visit idahostars.org to help you locate childcare.

Failure to adhere to guidelines in Boise City is a misdemeanor with jail time or a $1000 fine. This includes possible termination or suspension of childcare license. Idaho licensing is similar.

I’m always here to help people keep up on requirements. Even if our daycare is full, I am happy to try and help!

Good morning!
This post is for new/potential families 🙂
We’ve had a lot of inquiries regarding meeting times & dates, if kiddos can come hang out with the daycare kids before starting, and how drop offs work. So, I wanted to make a post for our page.

We love meeting new families!! Currently, we offer in person interviews/meetings Monday, Tuesday and some Wednesdays at 5pm or after. Thursdays and Fridays are insanely busy for us.

We do not allow new/potential littles to come hangout during daycare hours as it does interrupt our current daycare children’s day; we have tried it a few times in the past, they didn’t go well.

Lastly, when we bring on new daycare families, we ask that new parents do not come in past the white gate to play with their little one in the daycare room at drop off. It does cause more attachment for your child and it is a disruption for our other littles in attendance.

Trust me, I know it’s hard! We have both been there. We help redirect attention and provide one on one attention to help build trust and make drop off easier for everyone!

I hope this helps potential families! We enjoy meeting you 🙂

If you have any additional questions about our interviews and drop off process, please message me. I’d love to answer those questions for you!
