Before you enroll

Choosing a Christian preschool or church daycare in Idaho

  1. 1

    Ask how faith is part of the day

    Ask whether there is Bible time, prayer or chapel, how often, and what children learn.

  2. 2

    Ask who runs it

    Some daycares are run by the church; others rent space in a church building. Ask who sets the program and who employs the staff.

  3. 3

    Ask about families of other faiths

    If it matters to you, ask whether the daycare enrolls families of any faith or none.

  4. 4

    Check the license record

    Open the daycare's page here for its state license and the state's inspection record, where we hold them.
