New Toby’s House Facility Will Expand Support for Great Falls Families

A new home for Toby’s House Crisis Nursery is moving closer to completion, bringing expanded support for Great Falls families with young children.

NorthWestern Energy recently announced a $10,000 contribution to the Building Permanent Hope campaign. The new facility is expected to open in October and double Toby’s House’s capacity to serve children ages 0–6. Plans also include enhanced therapeutic space and overnight care.

Toby’s House provides urgent and emergency childcare at no cost to families, regardless of income. Children can receive safe care for a few hours or an entire day while parents and caregivers navigate unexpected or difficult circumstances. The organization also helps connect families with additional community resources.

For workers and families considering a move to Great Falls, quality of life includes knowing support is available when plans change or challenges arise. The collaboration behind the new facility offers tangible evidence of a community investing in children, family stability, and the resources that help residents remain connected to work and daily life.
