OUR PRESCHOOL APPROACH
What Makes Wallaby's Preschool Different
The building blocks behind every day in our Southeast Boise preschool classrooms.
Montessori-Inspired Learning
Hands-on materials and learning centers let children choose activities and learn at their own pace.
Early Literacy
Stories, songs, letters, and sounds build a love of reading and the foundations of early literacy.
Early Math
Counting, patterns, and hands-on math concepts are woven naturally into everyday play.
Social Development
Guided group activities build sharing, cooperation, empathy, and real friendships.
Part-Time & Half-Day Options
Flexible scheduling options fit preschool into your family’s routine, not the other way around.
Parent Communication
Daily updates and honest conversations keep you connected to your child’s day and progress.
Preparing Confident, Curious Kindergartners
Kindergarten readiness isn’t about drilling worksheets. At Wallaby, it’s built through hands-on projects, early literacy and math, problem-solving, and growing independence — so children arrive at kindergarten confident, curious, and ready to learn.

My little girl has been going since about 9 months old, and I knew it was the right place after only a week or two my girl was reaching out for her caregiver when we arrived. I know she is well loved and comes home with clean hands and face.Posted on Google Jac McQueeneyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Awesome place to take your kids! They care so much and are very friendly.Posted on Google Ben FieldsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I absolutely Love Wallaby! I feel confident and safe knowing the ladies there are going to take good care of my baby. Peace of mind is so necessary these days! She has also learned SO MUCH! So grateful to have found Wallaby!Posted on Google Amanda DeVoreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wallaby has been such a blessing to our family. We'd been away from daycare for a few years, so when I started looking for the right place I had specific needs/requirements. It wasn't the easiest transition for my son, but all the staff did an amazing job helping both of us through. We've been here 6 months now and are so happy. My son loves his days playing with his "friends", crafting, singing, painting, snacking and learning. His teacher Ms Lauren is the sweetest, she gives me great updates and I can tell she really cares for my son. Kelly is so responsive to questions, accommodating to needs and has a rare talent for what she does. Grateful for people willing to teach and love our kids when we can't be there.Posted on Google Krystal SkaarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My youngest son has been going to Wallaby full-time since May. I am amazed by how much he has learned and developed. He's counting, knows his letters, he's recognizing shapes, colors, just thriving! Kelly and her staff are such wonderful, loving caregivers. My son loves to going to preschool with all his friends. We pull up in the morning and he says "Yay!" Thank you Wallaby! We love you!Posted on Google Molly HydeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been taking our son to Wallaby's for almost a year, and we feel so lucky to have found Kelly and her staff. They are a family ran daycare who provide a loving and fun environment where he is happy to go and learn.Posted on Google Amy Nelms HensonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our family loves Wallaby! They are family owned and so wonderful. It is a warm and welcoming facility and it’s clear that all the children really are enjoying themselves. My son included—he is so excited to go to “school” every morning! Highly recommend!Posted on Google Emily SimondsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. For the last two years our son has attended Wallaby 3-4 days per week. Recently our younger son has started at Wallaby as well. Kelly and all the staff are wonderful. Taking care of 20-30 toddlers and infants is no easy task, but they are always up to the challenge. They do all kinds of educational projects and try to get the kids outside every day, weather permitting. It has been a very beneficial experience for our son. He has learned a lot and loves going to school! We are blessed to have found such a great team who take such good care of our boys. Thank you, Kelly and Wallaby staff!Posted on Google Cody Beaudreau
