Our story

Little hands, big champions, since 1972.

We started as South Boise Child Care in 1972 with a simple belief: every child has something great to grow. That belief lives on in every room today.

A neighborhood place built for Boise families.

Our center has grown alongside the community it serves — staying small enough to know every child by name, steady enough to be a place Boise families have trusted for generations.

From our classrooms to our play yards, every detail is shaped around what kids actually need: consistent care, room to explore, and adults who genuinely show up.

We looked at several centers. Little Champs was the one that felt warm, welcoming, and genuinely joyful.
