North Star Child Development Center
Our Team of Professionals
North Star Child Development Center's philosophy is based on every child deserving the
very best education by facilitating the learning process and striving to provide a warm
enriched environment. That happens because our staff is made up of highly trained
individuals who are dedicated to providing quality care in everything we do.

Our
Management Team brings over 30 years experience in business management,
education and psychology. We bring dedication to delivering the very best child care
program by providing educated staff, where they challenge and encourage your children
to expand their knowledge, discover new skills, and explore vast areas of interest. In
return our management team is focused on improving our environment, providing full
work weeks, vacations, and health benefits to our employees!

Each of our
Intensive Behavioral Intervention (IBI) Therapists have obtained their
Bachelor Degrees in Education or Psychology, with many completing Developmental
Specialist certifications. Each are certified through the State of Idaho. Therapists are
required to obtain 12 hours of training per year, and each spend countless hours
researching, attending conferences and trainings within the community.

CSC (Children's Service Coordination) team brings many years of experience in
working with families in the area. We are excited to bring Tracy Hofius's experience as
both a professional and as a parent to oversee this department.

The

DT, Gen Ed, Curriculum, PECs, Discrete Trial, and CPR/First Aid, Developmental Specialist
