Barrie Beasley

Director

My name is Barrie Beasley and I am the director at Walden Childcare & PreSchool. I have my Associates in Early Childhood Education and Development and my Bachelors in Psychology. I have been working in early childhood education for over 15 years. I have experience working with infants, toddlers and teaching Preschool, PreK, and elementary age children. I am very passionate about education, especially in early childhood. I believe school should be a positive and supportive experience for all children.

Community Service Center


SEARCH’s House of Tiny Treasures (HTT) is a nationally accredited preschool program that provides developmentally focused early childhood education to children, aged 2 – 5 years, who have experienced homelessness. Nutritious meals, education, and intensive art, play, and speech therapy address students’ needs and prepare them to be successful in kindergarten and beyond.

It is our Christmas tradition for our families at Walden Childcare & PreSchool to donate gifts for these children. By investing in these at‐risk children, we are striving to break the cycle of poverty and homelessness.

We will keep our families updated as we hope to continue this tradition every year.

Testimonials

Walden childcare is a great place for someone who is looking for low ratios and NAEYC & TRS 4 star accreditation! The new team at Walden is efficient and definitely working hard to improve the school on a daily basis.

New Director, Talia is a breath of fresh air!! We came to Walden childcare in April and have been very impressed especially since the new director has come in. We have observed very positive changes including much healthier food options (very important for our family) further training for the classroom teachers, excellent curriculum, better communication between parent and daycare staff, and just an overall sense of more organization and direction. We feel confident every day dropping off our son, that he is taking care of, loved, and getting the education that he needs. Walden childcare truly is a hidden gem. Thank you all!!!

The Walden childcare Sugarland is a wonderful center. The director Talia has improved the flow and the curriculum. She is very knowledgeable about licensing. My children love it here.

My grandson, which is currently 13 weeks right now he has started to attend this daycare for the last month in the infant room. One of the things that caught my attention was the ratios,miss Talia the Director knows how to keep the ratio at a low number she always has extra consistent teachers in my grandson‘s classroom. I really love watching the teacher get excited to receive my grandbaby every morning. It truly warns my heart, and I really love our first experience.

Been enrolled with our son for two months now starting at 12 weeks old. We have never second guessed our decision to go there. Great place!

13 month update. Still no thoughts of going else where.. the staff here trully loves our son as if he was one of their own

Love this daycare my two boys have been going for the past 6mos and the management answers all of my questions without a hesitation. I feel at ease that my 13 month old and 4 year old have been well cared for and loved on


We love Walden childcare! Great experience!

My daughter has been attending this daycarefor about a 2 month now. At first my daughter was very timid and nervous starting a new daycare and never being in daycare before. As a first time parent of course the anxiety of her mom and I definitely kicked in, but Ms. Talia the director was very kind and welcoming from the beginning. She made this process very smooth and put our mind at ease. Our daughter has started in the 2 year old class and Ms. Charlesia has been very loving to our daughter who had a rough time in the beginning. The staff here are welcoming. This daycare gives you the feeling of “family”. Thank you all for loving and caring for my daughter.

My 3 year old loves going to Walden. Ever since the new management has taken over our experience of the daycare has been fantastic. I love how the class sizes are small and teachers pay personal attention to each and every child. I love how my son has gotten so fond of the daycare director Ms. Talia who has over 15 years of experience. I would definitely recommend this daycare to anyone who is looking for a NEAYC and Texas Rising Star accreditation daycare!

My kid has been the happiest he has.
The teachers are excellent and extremely professional. I have never seen a daycare as clean as this. Teachers are punctual and the management is overly great. I strongly recommend this to others.

I went here when I was little and I loved it, I wish I was still young enough to go back here but it was fun. I recommend going here.

My daughter was previously enrolled in another daycare and switching her to the Walden was one of the best decisions we could have made. We have seen so many big changes in her development, social skills and much more. We are so thankful for the Walden and if your thinking about making the switch, please do!!!

One of the best childcare in the area. Lovely staff as well!

The teachers are great and really care for the kids! My son loved going to Walden and loved his teachers! If you’re looking for a relaxed and nurturing place to send your child, I would recommend Walden for sure!

So far we have had an amazing experience and our girls love it here

We have loved the time our daughter has spent at the Walden School. It makes us smile every time we walk her in and each teacher calls out her name to say good morning. They are kind and care deeply for our daughter. Would highly recommend the Walden Childcare!

A wonderful daycare with amazing staff who care for deeply for your child. We love Ms. Gina, Aida, and Chaitanya! 10/10 recommend.

My wife posted a review recently and I figured I’d add some comments. In general, this school has been the best thing we’ve done for our children. They’re learning at a pace far greater than we ever expected. My wife says the school feels like a family and that is really apparent when every teacher (even teachers from other classrooms) says good morning to your child and knows their name

Over the past year, this school has transitioned to new management, and while there have been bumps, they’ve really made great strides to bring the school into a modern facility. They installed a key-coded door, they now have iPads to provide parents with updates throughout the day and pictures with a secure app, and finally, they have an online portal for payments. These updates also mean they’ve encouraged leaving online reviews, and I feel with the care that they show our kids, a review is the least we can do.

Ultimately, we reviewed and interviewed a lot of schools/daycares, and I’m beyond happy with the decision we made. Crazy enough, this school is actually out of the way from where we work and live, but the drive is totally worth it.

As a first time mom, I was so scared to let anyone take care of my little one. After doing much research and visiting many places, it was easy to choose Walden. The teachers and staff are one big family and treat the kids as their own! They are always doing fun crafts with the kids and having little events to keep things interesting! They really put the kids first And I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Both of my children have been attending this school for a year. It is family-owned and beautifully run by a loving, caring staff. The kids learn quite a bit and have fun! They are safe and excited to go every day. I thoroughly recommend this school.

Kids have been going to Walden for over 2 years and love it.  Great owner and fantastic teachers.  I highly recommend Walden Childcare & PreSchool.

The teachers are great and really care for the kids! My son loved going to Walden and loved his teachers! If you’re looking for a relaxed and nurturing place to send your child, I would recommend Walden for sure!

We have loved our time at Walden Childcare & PreSchool! Their NAEYC accreditation is what first drew us there but seeing the longevity of many of the families and teachers is what got us to sign. It’s the first school we’ve been to where there isn’t constant turnover. We’ve been there for almost a year now and kids love their teachers! The school is very responsive with their communications. My kids are learning, growing and thriving!

From the moment we stepped through their doors, we knew we had found the perfect place for our child. Enrolling my son in Walden Childcare & PreSchool was the best decision I made. The staff is incredibly loving and treats my son like family. Seeing how happy he is there brings me immense joy.

Everyone treats my children as if they were family. Big smiles, warm welcomes, and praise are given throughout the day and I see how happy my children are to be with their teachers and friends. Would recommend this school 100%. Two children, full time (M-F 8-5 PM), one started in the infant room at 1-year (previously with a at home nanny and noticed slow development with making friends, words, etc.). He has THRIVED. Comes home sharing new words, singing new songs – I know this was the best choice for him to grow. The other child is a newborn, started at 3 months and gets so much love and attention. It warms my heart that the teachers share they have to remember to put her (the baby) down sometimes. There is a great relief knowing that you’re children are being loved and cared for.

Great school. My wife did a lot of research on many schools for our daughter and we decided on walden. My daughter loves her teachers and the activities they provide.

Best childcare facility in Sugar Land. It can really hard to find someone that you can trust with your child but they have gone above and beyond to make sure we are comfortable and happy. My children absolutely LOVE their teachers. The school is well organized and very clean and the teachers go above and beyond to make sure your child feels safe and well loved.

Wonderful place for kids, everyone is friendly and helpful, ready to guide the children. My niece has been going to Walden Childcare & PreSchool for over two years and loves it. She is ready to go to school, see her friends and learn new things.

A wonderful school with amazing staff who care deeply for your child. We love Ms. Gina, Aida, and Chaitanya! 10/10 recommend.

My granddaughter has been attending this school since we she was two. All the teachers are amazing.
