What Is Beale?

Beale is an AI assistant that helps families with their child care search. You can describe the care you need, ask about programs to explore and follow up with questions as you narrow your options.

Think of Beale as a place to begin the conversation. You do not need to have every detail figured out before asking for help.

How to Start Your Child Care Search With Beale

Text or call (213) 903-6232. A few details can make the conversation more useful:

  • Your city, neighborhood or ZIP code.
  • Your child's age group.
  • The days and hours you need care.
  • Your preferred start date and budget.

For example, you could write:

“I'm looking for care for my 2-year-old near San Mateo, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., starting next month. What options can I explore?”

This is an example of a first message, not a transcript of a family conversation. You can share fewer details at first and add more as you go. Keep passwords, payment-card details and sensitive records out of the conversation.

Keep the Conversation Going

Your first message is a starting point. If your schedule changes or you want to explore another neighborhood, explain that in a follow-up. You can also ask what to check before contacting a program or arranging a visit.

As you compare options, write down the questions that matter most to your family. For example: Does the program serve my child's age group? Do its hours fit our day? What should we ask during a tour?

Confirm the Details Before You Enroll

Beale's answers can help guide your search, but AI answers can be incomplete or out of date. Confirm current openings, tuition, hours and enrollment requirements directly with each program. A search result or a conversation with Beale does not reserve a space or confirm enrollment.
