Established in Nampa with a Foundation in Infant Health

From the very beginning, 1st Steps Daycare was built on a simple promise: to care for your kids like our own. Our owner, a hands-on neonatal nurse, opened our doors with a vision to bring her clinical expertise into everyday early education—creating a safe, structured, and loving space for children to thrive.


Nampa families know the rhythm of life here—the wide streets lined with growing neighborhoods, the sense of community at local parks, and the trust you place in the people who watch over your children. We honor that trust by staying present, attentive, and deeply committed to each child's growth and happiness.


We're proud to support families across Nampa and surrounding communities, helping parents feel confident as they head to work or take time for themselves, knowing their children are in caring, capable hands.
