"You truly have a fantastic program and I’m grateful to have found it. It was a wonderful experience."
"I’ve noticed big changes in her since we started. She’s talking a lot more… and better, too."
"Whatever you’re doing… keep doing. He loved coming there and normally he didn’t want to leave the house. Very happy we chose your school."
Welcome parents of kids ages 2+ to 6’ish,
We’re a unique daycare in Billings, MT (the Heights), two minutes from Target, MetraPark, Albertsons, and Gainan’s Greenhouse.
You’ll find everything here that you’d expect at a regular daycare…
(free play, games, circle time, naptime, lunch, and snacks)
What you won’t find is a TV, movie screen, or tablet!

But there’s more, too, because at this Heights daycare…
We teach your child to love reading before Kindergarten
Enrolling now for Winter 2023/24
You can find out what our daycare offers on the About page.
(Don’t worry if your child has no interest in reading, stories, or even sitting still. He or she will still benefit tremendously from our program.)
Be sure to scan the testimonials from happy parents and colleagues,
When you’re ready, call to schedule your no-pressure, no-obligation tour:
First Things Child Care
705 Lincoln Lane, Billings, MT 59105
(Parking and entry is on the south side of the building.)
Office: 406-534-3442

(Please note that we don’t accept Best Beginnings. We are not an after-school or drop-in care provider.)




Yes, we do! To be clear, we accept children with disabilities on a case-by-case basis. Depending on care requirements, there may be fees in addition to monthly tuition.
The first two weeks at First Things is a trial to ensure fit. We want all parties–you, your child, us–to be secure and happy with your decision to enroll.
As for as finding the “right” daycare, your child may be happy anywhere there’s a big TV and lots of toys (LOL). But you probably expect more.
That’s why tours are so important.
When you visit us, you can ask questions… even hard ones. You can watch how your child interacts with the space.
Ultimately, after due diligence (recommendations, research) you have to go with your gut. The way you feel during the initial tour is a good indicator of how you’ll feel, daily, once your child enrolls.
