Preschool & Childcare Center Serving Star, ID

Experience Quality Care Designed By Experts

Elementary school teacher Mackinzie McLaughlin was looking for the right early-years option for her own child. When she couldn’t find the high standards and attention to detail she was looking for, she teamed up with Sherry Helton, who had 20 years of experience in early education.

They designed a center custom-built for early learning, with beautiful big classrooms, en suite bathrooms, and a huge playground.

Now they welcome you to the early education experience of their dreams, crafted with care and delivered with love.

A Family-Owned Operation Star Families Can Rely On

We know what it’s like to work hard for the ones we love, so everything we do is tailored to supporting the families in our community. We’re open longer hours to suit your schedule, and we include meals and snacks in tuition, so you have less to think about.

A Joyful, Playful Learning Experience

Exciting monthly themes and hands-on activities bring learning to life. The play-based Funnydaffer curriculum provides a state-approved structure for early learning, and we enrich every experience with experiments, inventions, and new skills every day.

Individualized Attention From Degreed Teachers

Under the guidance of our experienced director, who holds a master’s degree, our lead teachers have associate’s or bachelor’s degrees, as well as a whole lot of passion for early education. These nurturing experts will give your child lots of attention in classes that are smaller than the state requires.
