Early Childhood Education Learning Center

Feel confident with your choice of childcare

We know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident about where you send your children for childcare and early education. The way we help our little people learn at a young age has an impact on the way they develop self-regulation, innovation, and creativity skills which are why we are so passionate about elevating early childhood education.

Our Early Childhood programs for toddlers to Kindergarten students are taught by educators who are specially trained to teach children ages 0-8 and are supported by our College of Southern Idaho Early Childhood Education students who are working toward becoming educators. This allows them hands-on practice and gives the children in our programs a great experience and better teacher to student ratio.

The only accredited option in the Magic Valley

Our program is one of the best in the Northwest and the only program in Southern Idaho that has completed the Idaho Stars six steps to learning - which means we not only take the safety of your children seriously, but we’re dedicated to providing the best environment possible for them to learn and play.

We’re open to CSI student and community families and we are equipped to serve children with different
abilities.

“Before we found CSI’s program, we were struggling to find the type of care that aligned with our philosophy on how children should be treated and cared for. Our son has been in the toddler lab and preschool lab classes and I can’t say enough for how much he has grown and how much we have learned as parents. 10/10 recommend!” - Amy Schutte

What makes CSI Early Childcare so different

Quality Instruction and Happy Environment

Not all childcare centers are focused on helping your children understand and get excited about the world we live in but at CSI, that’s exactly what you’ll find. Play is the basis of learning. Your children will be allowed to use their imaginations, explore, discover, and solve-problems - all of which are important foundations for developing literacy, numeracy, and social skills.

Play-Based Learning

We use a variety of methods to teach your child but the basis of what we believe comes down to allowing children to use curiosity and creativity to their advantage. We’re constantly working with children to ask questions and wonder “what if” so they can not only become avid learners but enjoy learning in any environment and at any age.

Education for Parents

As a parent, you want to know how your child is growing and learning which is why we are so passionate about providing parents with glimpses into their time with us with weekly observation notes about children’s discoveries, social skills, and curiosities. We also provide a free education session once a month to give you strategies and ideas to help you navigate your children’s early years in a way that sets them up for a lifetime of success.
