Beard’s Backyard Daycare

I have been getting new inquiries recently and I wanted to put up an update. All my spots are filled until further notice, thank you all! 🩷

Meet our family & your providers!

Hi! My name is Catherine Beard, my husband is John Beard (my second staff member) and our children are Kalani & Zander! Our dogs are Panda (left) & King (right)! They are friendly! 🫶🏻

I’ve been running my in home licensed daycare since August 1, 2022! I opened my daycare when I found myself without consistent care for our daughter and was forced to quit my job. I’ve
babysat friends and families children since I was 12 years old, formerly worked for a daycare, & went to school for child psychology. My husband was in a car accident back in 2022 as well which also forced him to be able to not return to work he has been home with me ever since, so it just made sense to bring him on as a staff member and offer more spots for care! We both love children and even on the weekends find ourselves with friends and families kids over to play!

Here’s some of the things we offer!

Hours are 7am-5pm M-F
(Can usually accommodate earlier or later by request)
Located between Comstock & Galesburg off E.Michigan Ave.

⭐️ Daily learning activities
⭐️Homeschool -preschool, pre-K, & Kindergarten curriculum for age appropriate kids!
⭐️Potty training
⭐️Outdoor play space (in my cover photo), water activities in the summertime.
⭐️Field trips- when we have the space in vehicles we have done occasional field trips
⭐️Birthday/Holiday parties
⭐️Indoor play spaces
⭐️Brightwheel app for parent communication & billing services
⭐️Work with Tri-share program for billing
⭐️Meals & snacks provided

We would love to be your child’s home away from home! 💕

I’ve still got 2 spots up for grabs for one for 18 months and one for 2.5 years or older! Located near Comstock, Galesburg, Richland, East Kalamazoo. Less than 10 mins from Gull Rd & less than 10 mins from I-94 from Galesburg or Sprinkle Rd exit. (Thought I would add that since it’s been a frequent question).
