Nature walk, climb trees, sprinkler, pick flowers, watch birds, paint rocks...there are so many summer activities that help kids build the skills they need!
Looking for ways to play AND help kids develop motor skills, visual perceptual skills, add sensory input, cope, self-regulate, or offer opportunities to build confidence?
Watching kids work so hard to achieve what many take for granted is a constant reminder of their incredible potential. 💪✨
Their determination, resilience, and bravery inspire us every single day. 🧡
Every small victory is a BIG step forward, and we’re here cheering them on every step of the way! 🎉👏
Let’s celebrate their strength and perseverance!

🌟 The goal isn’t calm—it’s connection. 💞
Can a child sit with their big feelings—whether it’s anger, worry, joy, or sadness? 😠😟😊😢
That’s the skill we’re helping them build—through co-regulation, not control. 🧠💛
Be their calm anchor. 🛟
Hold space.
Breathe together.
Stay close. 🤝🌬️👂
Connection first—calm will follow. 🌈

The strongest tool for shaping a child’s behavior are the principles you teach them.
Studies show that kids who feel deeply connected to their parents are more likely to listen, respect boundaries, and make better choices—not because they fear consequences, but because they value the relationship.
Research backs this up. When a child has strong family values they respond—not just to rules, but to the meaning behind them.

TLC for Tots humbly began in Nampa, Idaho as an In-Home in 2006. They outgrew their home in 2008 and moved to a large center. We are still proudly family owned and operated. We strive to hire staff that is caring, capable and knowledgeable. Staff members all participate in the Professional Development System through IdahoSTARS. This allows our staff to continue their education to ensure proper training and the means to provide high quality care.
Structured & Age Appropriate Environment
We are a play based learning center with a foundation in Creative Curriculum. Children will experience a predictable, structured routine that allows for a combination of large group, small group as well as independent learning. Daily opportunities for fine motor, gross motor, cognitive, language, sensory, dramatic play and social skill building.
Individualized Care & Early Intervention
Structure, routine, teacher created curriculum, observations and developmental assessments allow us to provide individualized care. When necessary, we work with the Nampa School District & other agencies to help facilitate early intervention for your child's optimal success. Family Conference Events occur in the Fall and Spring so we can share their growth and victories.
