5 years ago as a new mom I found this daycare and trusted them to take care of my baby.. He starts kindergarten in a few weeks and we just had his last day at ACH( I wish we could stay longer!😭). In those 5 years all of the teachers were amazing. Anytime I was dropping him off I was confident that he was in the hands of someone who truly cared for him. He is also a VERY picky eater and they were always willing to help us out and try new things to get him to eat new foods. Any issue (very rare) was met with a quick communication and resolution. Miss KaiLee is so loved by him and he always tells me how kind she is! (She truly is a BLESSING). I will always recommend this daycare to anyone looking for childcare. THANK YOU to everyone for taking such great care of him!!

Our 2 year old is loving going to "school" here. There was an adjustment period of course, since this is his first time in day care but the teachers were so loving and patient and he quickly settled in and is now excited to go. The staff has been wonderful! Their technology and communication is amazing. We love the apps features for chatting with the teachers, getting updates on food, activities, diapers + naps and being able to access a camera for his class room. We are very happy with our experience here and seeing our child thrive gives us so much reassurance. He is learning so much! We are very thankful to have our child go here.

My son has been going here for a few months and we have never felt welcomed so fast. Miss Kaelee and Miss Amaia are always super sweet and helpful and made my sons big change go smooth.

They are all amazing but Betty is the absolute best. Our son just loves her and she makes leaving him just feel better. I know he is in the best of care all day. We love Mrs. Betty!!!

We have only had our daughter going to ACH for about a month now but I'm here to tell you we couldn't be happier. We had been looking for a daycare to get some socializing exposure because most of the time she lives as an only child only seeing her siblings on weekends. Daycare made me nervous because of a previous experience and she's my first so being a new mom daycare was very scary for me. Probably more scary for me then her in some ways lol .. ACH has been so wonderful to her and us the experience and patience and care for the children and the parents is remarkable. Every time my daughter is there I'm completely confident and comfortable with having her there so I can take a day to get things done or just relax knowing she's having fun and being cared for.

We have been with ACH for about 4 months now and they have been incredible! The staff is very helpful and friendly and my daughter adores each of them! They go above and beyond to make her feel welcome and loved every day. Kati has been one of the best daycare teachers we have ever had. She is always communicating with us and I very much appreciate her! My daughter was having skin issues on her hands and she worked with me daily to figure out what was causing it and actively helping to make her poor hands healthy again. I wish we found this daycare center sooner!

Sending our son to A Child's Heart has been the BEST decision for our family. The owner, Mia Barron is extremely passionate about creating a fun and safe environment for the children and staff! Ms. Betty and Ms. Gwen are exceptional! They are nurturers that are amazing at what they do! A Child's Heart does a great job providing a quality experience for us and our son. We love them and are grateful to have such great care for our boy!

This was the first school my daughter has ever attended. We were scared of making this move because we worried like any parent does about the safety and security of our baby girl. This school surpassed our expectations! My daughters teacher Miss Katie is the perfect teacher. She strives to be the best at what she does. She’s compassionate, loving, and takes a lot of pride in her job. She loves all the kids and provides lots of activities and fun into their day. She is a woman of God and she instills His love into our daughter everyday with scriptures, stories and prayer. It warms my heart everyday when my daughter talks of God and His never ending love. She keeps the class structured but fun. She is always on top of responding to messages I send her. They have an app that gives updates on your kids day and she always takes the time to write about each individual kid with pictures, videos and talking about funny things that were said during circle time. It’s my favorite part of my day getting to see photos, videos and comments about my daughter. She has learned so much and it’s amazing to know that she will start kindergarten ready for anything. My daughter loves going to school everyday, she talks about her friends, what she learned and even is taught mannerism. One day she asked to please be excused from the table and it shook us because she never did that before until after attending this school lol. The staff all work together to care for the kids and there is definitely a family vibe when you walk in. Every staff member goes above and beyond to help you. They always greet you with a big smile and make you feel apart of their family. I can go on and on about this place. If you have any doubt this post should take them all away because your child will have the best time at this place. Without a doubt I would recommend this school to anyone I know that is looking for the perfect school for their child. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you did for our daughter and preparing her for the future to come. God bless every single one of you. ❤️

The staff at A Child’s Heart have been very friendly and attentive. My 2 year old enjoys the two days a week he attends. I love that they use the Brightwheel App, which allow us to see our son’s daily activities- diaper changes, naps, meals and play time. It’s nice not having to worry about his care while we are at work. Additionally, they have been willing to work with us when we go through schedule changes at my husband’s job. We will be enrolling our 4 month old in the next month.
Juanita Hernandez
Highly recommend! ACH is more than a daycare to us, they are like family! Very loving, trustworthy staff. I have a 5yr old that ABSOLUTELY LOVES it here and is always looking forward to be back the next day. I can’t thank them enough for the wonderful care and love they provide to my children.
Courtney Miller
This daycare is beyond amazing if i could score them higher then 5, i absolutely would. Let me start off by saying everyone there goes above and beyond nurturing my child. They are always so loving and warm when i walk in the door they always greet me and have my child changed and fed. They make sure that whatever needs i have they continue to meet when he attends daycare. Sometimes when you go to a daycare there is a weird smell. This daycare always makes sure everything is nice and neat and smelling good. Marian and Mia are always greeting me at the door. My son is always happy and smiling at the staff. I would never send my son to any other daycare.

We began taking our kids to this amazing place 3 weeks ago. My wife and I can't say enough good things about A Child's Heart Learning Center & Nursery. We have a full-time 4 year old attending and a 6 year old that attends before and after school. We have known co-owner Camille for almost 3 years and co-owner Mia for only a few weeks. I wouldn't have my children attend any other place. The nurturing staff only have the children's interests at heart. The curriculum was created out of love for children, love for family, and love for faith. My wife and I don't think of A Child's Heart as a childcare facility, but rather an extension of our family. Really, these ladies spend more time with our children awake than we do during the week. I wouldn't want anyone else to help in raising our children to respectful, kind, and endearing persons.

I will be completely transparent... Leaving my kids with people I do not know was one of the hardest things I have had to go through as a mother. My son who just turned 2 has been at ACH for over a year and my daughter is 9 months and has been there 3 months. I have been so impressed with the love, patience, and compassion that has been poured out on both of my kids by all the staff. I am communicated with on a daily basis from the teachers, and I can check on them anytime and know I will get a quick response.
My son talks about his teachers as much as he talks about extended family members and I can feel the love he has for them, which makes me feel so safe every time I drop them off. He also often comes home singing prayer songs and songs about Jesus. This is one of the greatest things to witness as a parent and to know that the love of Christ is being demonstrated and taught even away from our home. I am so happy with the care we have received, and I recommend ACH to all my friends and family looking for childcare.

As a first time parent there is a lot of anxiety that comes with leaving your baby for the first time. A child's heart has been a perfect fit. The entire staff is friendly and helpful and it is so sweet that they all know our babies name when she comes and goes. The one who goes above and beyond for our baby is Betty, she gives us so much peace of mind in the care she offers for our baby, but also she is exceptionally helpful in communicating and coming up with a plan that works at daycare and home. Highly recommend this center for any little one 🙂

They are all so warm and welcoming! Our son loves going there! It really is a great place!

We have had our son with Child’s Heart since he was nine months old, and over a year later, we have felt nothing but love and engagement from the staff. They’re great about updating via an app all day, and happy to report he brings home all sorts of new skills (throwing his trash away, picking up after himself, saying sorry), that only come from engaging with other kids throughout the day. Grateful for a place I know he is safe and happy so I can focus at work!
Taylor Wolfe
My daughter just started going to ACH. She had never been in any type of daycare or school before and we decided to stick her in a couple days a week to learn and socialize. I was super nervous but honestly could not feel more at ease with our decision Mia and Payton have made me feel so comfortable. On the first day my daughter went right into Payton’s arms with no tears! They were amazing at keeping me updated throughout the day as I was on edge all day thinking of her. When I picked her up she was sitting so calmly at the table with the other kids which I never thought she would do LOL I wish we would’ve made this decision sooner and I can’t wait to watch my baby girl grow and learn!

I love A Child's Heart Learning Center and Nursery. It is really important for me that the children are not only cared for but nurtured while they are at the facility. Mia (the owner) takes huge efforts to hire excellent and consistent care providers that the children know and love. My child says, "I love you!" as he leaves each day. The program is wonderful. I am so happy that I found them.
Kelley Skeie
I am so happy we choose a child’s heart for our sons care. I love the way the center is run. All the teachers love my child like their own. They send pictures often and they always document everything really well.
Sara P
Enrolling in A Child’s Heart is the best decision I have ever made for my son. Betty, Ashley, Gwen and the rest of the teachers are wonderful! Mia runs a great daycare and I’m so thankful to have found them!
Alison Harry
We've been with A Child's Heart for 6 months now and have had a wonderful experience. Our little guy has so much fun there and comes home having learned something new everyday. He gets fed a breakfast, snack, lunch and another snack while there and lots of play learning in between. The outside play area is super fun and I'm glad he gets lots of outside time. The only thing that could be better is if small kids didn't share germs so much! But I think that is an unrealistic expectation for a day care.
The staff really seem to care about our little guy and all the kids in their care. They never seem to shame or yell and everyone appears to be trained on what to do when incidents happen. And things do happen, even at home our kids get hurt. What's nice is that I am notified immediately.
Everything is documented in an app called Brightwheel that parents can see in real time. Things like diaper changes, food eaten, nap length, fun pictures and instant communication from staff if something seems off or if you're running out of diapers. I am put at ease knowing his direct caregiver is a simple instant message away.
The owner Mia greets us every morning and waves goodbye for pick-ups. She is extremely easy to get a hold of and issues are quickly resolved through calls or email. We get a discount for setting up auto pay and the price is clear and fair.
I am definitely giving A Child's Heart five stars.
Erica Wilson
Mia, the owner is absolutely amazing! She has been such a wonderful person to work with and she cares so much about every child and parent that comes through there. This is the best daycare I have ever experienced!!
Jeffrey Jenkins
To give 5 stars strictly for the staff would be an easy answer. My daughter loves going to “school” and learning all the daily activities that her teacher has ready for them.
They are constantly maintaining and adapting to all the demands of a well maintained daycare.
I would highly recommend a child’s learning center to anyone.
Kelcy Diaz
LOVE this daycare I am a first time mom putting her son is daycare. I was beyond scared and didn't know what to expect. The staff went above and beyond to make sure I felt good about this Constantly getting updates and pictures and videos My son loves his teacher ms. Nicole M. She is beyond amazing as is all the staff there! Should get 10 stars!
Lindall Manginsay
The staff is absolutely amazing, Marian is such a kind woman and so helpful. I don’t trust many people with my children but I definitely trust them, they even have an app to update you throughout the day when your child eats, naps, has a diaper change or if they need anything.
J Morris
I can’t imagine taking my children anywhere else. The ladies at a Child’s Heart have a remarkable passion for taking care of children. It might not be the fanciest facility, but they’re loving and caring ways make up for it and then some!!
wendy osborne
This was the first time for my little one would go to a child care learning center I searched long and hard before I choose the daycare he would attend. I can tell you that you will not find a better childcare learning center to bring your children to they are kind people great with the kids there building is clean staff are very friendly and great prices Maya and Camille are the most professional people to work with easy billing invoices to pay online they also have a great curriculum for the children for all age groups please call them and take a tour before you decided who you will or would leave you children with when making your decision I know for my husband and myself it was very important who he was going to be left with. Thank you Wendy Osborne

I absolutely love A Child’s Heart. They have been wonderful to work with. I love that they have technology that makes it easy to communicate, know what is happening, and even see what is happening. All of the staff has been so sweet and great to work with. Mrs Betty in the Butterflies/Baby room has been great. You can tell how much she loves all the babies and is always willing to answer all my questions. I highly recommend a Child’s Heart!
Monica Rivera
Child's Heart has been a great fit for my son, he absolutely loves going and everyone is so nice. His teachers KaiLee and Andrea are soo sweet & very interactive with the kids! They also have a great communication app for the parents to see updates, I love that they upload photos and videos on it. Such a great environment for kids.
Amber Lynn
We have been with ACH for almost a year. They love on our baby! Miss Kylie, Miss Kalysta and everyone else have been amazing! Miss Alba and Miss Brayden we’re a wonderful first school experience for Joey.
Brittany O'Connor
Our son loves Mrs. Betty, pretty sure she is his 3rd favorite person! Knowing he will be loved on while we are at work makes things so much easier! She and the rest of the staff (Yamelit, Bella, Ashlyn, Ary) are amazing!!

I do not usually go out of my way to leave a review—negative, or positive, but I have to leave a strong, positive review for A Child’s Heart. I was hesitant to put my son in daycare at all and toured several facilities. I have high expectations and didn’t know if I would find a place that could meet my standards for the care I wanted for him. Mia, who provided our tour, stood out to me because she didn’t shy away from my hard questions and answered my questions with consideration of developmental needs of the child and environmental factors that may influence behaviors. She was direct, prompt and professional and I took a leap and enrolled my son. Although it’s a fairly big daycare center, every single staff person knows my son and says “hi” and “goodbye” to him each day. He has always been shy but completely blossomed in their care; he is confident and excited to go each day. He hugs the teachers like they are family he’s known his whole life and he wants to stay and keep playing at the end of the day when I come to get him. Amanda seems to oversee the staffing side of things and was easy to communicate with, attentive and responsive to any requests. I feel bad even mentioning names because I know I’ll accidentally leave some out but Kalysta, Kylie, Kendelynn, and Brayden are among the many nurturing, attentive, professional, conscientious and loving teachers who took care of our son and I would recommend them and A child’s Heart to any parent looking for a high quality daycare center for their child.

Gosh, where do I start? How about thank you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone at a Child’s Heart. All of the teachers and Mia and Amanda are just amazing. Ms Anna, thank you for always having a smile on your face, being willing to help and cooking our kiddos yummy food. Our littlest one in particular just loves you to pieces!! Ms Betty, you are such a blessing and we are so thankful for you! You are so patient and kind, are always smiling and really do treat all the babies in the infant room like they are your own. Watching our baby smile and giggle with you is just one of the best feelings in the world and you got him to take the bottle!! Thank you for your dedication and patience, we seriously could not have done it without you. Ms Elizabeth in preschool is absolutely incredible as well. She is so good with toddlers and after having a bad experience at a prior center with our oldest, it was such a breath of fresh air to have her as his teacher. Although she is in the older classroom now, our oldest cannot wait to have her again and still talks about how much he “loves Ms Elizabeth” and how she’s “his favorite”. Ms Gwen and Ms Kylie, a big thank you to both of you too! Ms Gwen, you are so knowledgeable about child development, are so positive and so good with the 3s and 4s. Ms Kylie, you are so creative and are always ready to give our oldest hugs so mommy can go to work.Thank you both for being amazing teachers too. Our oldest is learning so much from you both and we love that one of the first things he learned after transitioning to the Fox classroom was that “God makes us special”.To the wonderful teachers in the 1s and 2s, thank you as well. Whenever we see you with your littles you are just so good with them and we can’t wait for our littlest to be in your class too!
To everyone who made it to the end of this, you really won’t find a better place to care for your children during the day. We are so thankful to have found A Child’s Heart and are so so grateful to everyone for keeping our babies safe and loving them as we do. You are all amazing ❤️

I love that I get to work and enroll my daughter in the same center! My 4 yo daughter is enrolled in the Owls class and loves her teacher and friends! I work in the office while she is in class.
As a parent, I love the Brightwheel app the center uses to keep me connected with what's going on throughout the day. I get to see pictures and even video of what she's doing throughout the day and get a detailed activity log of what she's doing throughout the day. I love to see her excitement in sharing things with me that she learned or did that day when I pick her up.
As an employee, I love the heart of the people I work with. We all truly have a united mission in wanting to serve the kids and their families. We work as a team and we are all valued and bring our experiences and perspectives to the table to work through challenges.

We are so happy to have found this center. The staff is friendly, helpful, and wonderful. My child has great things to say about his teachers. It is a marvelous place for children to grow, learn, and play. Highly recommended.
Michelle Webberley
Our son has been attending A Child's Heart for more than 2 years and we absolutely love this daycare! He has had amazing teachers that have nurtured him and help him grow each day. We could not have imagined a better place to send him. I highly recommend this facility to any new parent or those looking to change care providers.
Sarah Trefry
I found this daycare under different circumstances and ill tell you, im so glad that i did! The love and support and nurturing that they give my daughter is incredible! She is so exited to go to school everyday. Nicole has been an absolute blessing to not only my daughter, but myself as well. Mia, who i see almost everyday and Marion are so welcoming and friendly and their door is always open with any concerns or feedback at all times. We are so lucky to have these ladies and i wouldnt want my daughter anywhere else.
AMANDA PASKELL
A Child's Heart offers young children a safe, loving, early learning environment. The teachers are kind-hearted and it is evident, that they enjoy caring for young children. Being a Christian-based childcare is also a plus, as the children learn about God's love for them. Other good and practical values, important to early child development, are implemented at this childcare.
Tiffany Benke
Absolutely an amazing place to care for your children. The owner Mia models the heart of our lord and she shines that on all her employees. The greatest place in Boise to love and teach your babies!!

I took a tour of this daycare for my grand daughter. I was very impressed with the individual classrooms for the different age groups and individual cubby slots for the kids belongings. It's not easy taking your child or grandchild to daycare. I left the tour with a very good feeling. And my 2 year old grand daughter wanted to stay though we were just visiting.
