Welcome to Backyard Buddies Childcare

At Backyard Buddies Childcare, we believe in the power of nature to inspire curiosity and creativity in children. Our nature-based approach, nutritious foods, and toxin-free product use sets us apart and provides a unique, sustainable learning experience for young minds! While outside, children will take healthy risks and get dirty! We will be outside daily whether there is rain, snow, or shine! While we are inside, children will have access to Montessori-based learning toys and activities.
