About
Hygge Kinder House is a licensed childcare center in downtown Boise, ID, offering small-group, play-based care for children ages 3 months to 5 years, plus summer and school break camps for ages 5 to 12. Guided by the Danish concept of hygge—coziness, comfort, and belonging—the center provides a safe, clean, and structured environment that supports confidence, independence, and inclusive values.
Programs include Infant Care (3–12 months), Toddler (1–3.5 years), and Preschool/Pre-K (3.5–5 years). Full-time care typically runs 8:00 a.m.–5:15 p.m. Tuition is listed as $1,600/month for infants; $1,500/month for ages 1–2.5; $1,400/month for ages 2.5–3.5 (with part-time options at $950/month for Mon/Wed/Fri and $685/month for Tue/Thu); and $1,300/month for ages 3.5–5. Staff are background-checked and trained in CPR and First Aid, and the facility uses secure check-in and check-out procedures.
Located near the Boise River, the Grove, JUMP, and the Boise Library, children regularly explore the neighborhood to build a sense of place and community as kind urban citizens. The Scandinavian-inspired space features warm, inviting classrooms designed to help children feel safe, seen, and supported. Hygge Kinder House was founded by parents Katie Swanson and Taylor Payne.
