About Us
Owners
Luis Barroso & Desiree Jones
Luis moved to the Treasure Valley in the late 80’s
He decided in high school to focus on his love for automobiles and has been an automotive technician since.
After working for a local dealerships and a few private companies, he secured a position working for the state of Idaho
Desiree grew up in Portland. She moved to the Treasure Valley in the late 90’s and never looked back.
After a few years in the work force she was blessed with a temp job that has turned into 19 years at a local label printing company
Desiree and Luis were full-time single parents when they were introduced by their kids in 2011.
They became a family of 6 in 2013, welcoming their 4th daughter
They spend as much time as possible camping in the summers and recently found a love for paddle boarding if there is a lake nearby.
The other 3 seasons are spent playing on their property, Taeknowdo classes for their youngest (and only one left at home), tending to their chickens, and spending time with family and friends
Luis spends most of his free time in his shop and Desiree loves crafting and planning themed parties.
In 2019 their first grandchild was born and they realized shortly after the great need for quality childcare.
They were further motivated by the Covid-19 Pandemic and decided they wanted to provide the community with a daycare center that understands the realities of working families and respects parental choices.
They are honored for the opportunity to make amazing experiences at Mother Goose for your little ones.
