“Good teaching cannot be reduced to technique; good teaching comes from the identity of the teacher.” – Parker J. Palmer, The Heart of a Teacher

Welcome to Mountain Home Minnies!

My name is Stephanie, and I’m a small childcare provider new to Mountain Home as of 2025. I’m thrilled to offer quality, dependable care to the children and families in our community.

Before starting this journey, I proudly served as a Firefighter and Emergency Medical Responder in the United States Air Force. After the birth of my daughter in 2024, I discovered my true calling: creating a home away from home for children and supporting families—especially those who work unconventional hours.

As a former first responder, I know how difficult it is to find reliable childcare that accommodates shift work. That’s why Mountain Home Minnies provides full-service daycare along with extended duty care tailored to military, medical, and emergency service families.

We go beyond basic care—we implement a structured preschool curriculum that supports early development while I complete my Bachelor’s in Early Childhood Education at Boise State University, with an emphasis on special needs education.

At MHM, we are committed to:
• A comprehensive, play-based and developmental curriculum
• Uncompromising integrity and safety standards
• A nurturing, inclusive, and enriching environment where your child can grow and thrive

Your child’s well-being is our highest priority. We are so confident in our care that we offer a money-back satisfaction guarantee. Every child deserves to feel safe, secure, and supported—and every parent deserves peace of mind.

We proudly offer military and first responder discounts as a thank-you for your service.

Thank you for considering Mountain Home Minnies. We can’t wait to meet your family!
