Our Story

A Minden Family Tradition

Since 2009, Allie & Friends has been the childcare home for Minden families. What started as a passion for early childhood education has grown into Douglas County's most trusted daycare - a place where children aren't just cared for, they're truly known.

Our involved owners provide constant oversight, our teachers stay because they love what they do, and our families stay because their children thrive. We use only green, non-toxic cleaners, maintain exceptional teacher-to-child ratios, and treat every child like our own.

Conveniently located near the Douglas County Library, Swim Center, and High School, we're right in the heart of the community we serve.
