Boise Child Care serves as a central resource for local parents and providers. Parents can find providers in their area, learn tips in choosing child care and seek additional information on healthy initiatives for their children. Providers will find information for applications for licenses, licensing requirements, training resources and healthy initiative resources for their facility.
We believe that Boise’s children are among its most valuable assets – that is why the work you do is so vital to our community. The goal of this website is to provide you with the necessary resources to successfully meet all the city's licensing requirements. Additionally, we are proud to offer training and other resources to continue your education.
