Philosophy

With our progressive and holistic early childhood education philosophy, we understand that each child has unique needs and interests. We provide the environment and tools your child needs to thrive to the best of their abilities.

When we expose children to different environments and various learning experiences, we allow them to explore their self-awareness and gain a sense of the world around them. Once they leave DD’s Daycare, they’re fully prepared for the next stage of their young lives. We also have experience with special needs children.

Location

We are located in Caldwell Idaho. We pick up and drop off kiddos from multiple different schools around the area.

About our program
