U.S. Capitol Police Captain Michael Byrd and his wife, Kaleska, have run a home-based childcare facility in Brandywine, Maryland, since 2008, according to state records.
The operation, “Byrd’s Family Day Care,” is licensed under Maryland law but not accredited, a voluntary designation for childcare providers in the state.
The center has drawn attention in recent years due to Byrd’s high-profile role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol incident, when he fatally shot protester Ashli Babbitt.
Social media and online discussions have focused on the unusual intersection of Byrd’s law enforcement career and his private childcare business.
Although Byrd was cleared of wrongdoing in the Babbitt shooting, past incidents—including leaving a service weapon unsecured and failing to meet semi-annual firearms qualifications—have added to public interest in his professional and personal activities.
Some observers have raised questions about judgment and safety, while others emphasize that the daycare operates within state law.
Maryland inspection records indicate that Byrd’s daycare had four children enrolled as of June 2025.
Between 2021 and 2023, state regulators conducted multiple evaluations that flagged only minor administrative and training deficiencies, all of which were corrected.
The latest inspection, completed in May 2023, confirmed that the facility fully complies with Maryland regulations.
Investigative reporting has further traced the daycare’s history, according to The Gateway Pundit.
Private investigator Susan Daniels and journalist Paul Sperry note that the Byrds originally operated the business from a prior residence between 2008 and 2018.
The original registration lapsed during that period, but the operation later re-registered under a new number and continues to function legally, despite its unaccredited status.
Accreditation in Maryland is optional and not required for licensed operation, RedState notes.
Federal funding context has also drawn attention.
Maryland receives roughly $190 million annually for childcare programs through federal support, though there is no evidence that Byrd’s facility has received significant taxpayer funding.
Listings on CareLuLu and state records indicate that the daycare maintains proper licensing and has no unresolved violations beyond the minor issues addressed in prior inspections.
The Byrds’ home-based center is located in a neighborhood with numerous childcare options, yet only a small fraction of local providers hold voluntary accreditation.
State authorities emphasize that licensing, not accreditation, ensures basic standards for safety and operations. Licensed facilities undergo routine oversight to verify compliance, regardless of the owners’ professional background.
Experts note that the case illustrates the broader challenge of public officials engaging in private business while under public scrutiny.
Families in the Brandywine area continue to have multiple childcare options, and official monitoring ensures the center meets state requirements.
The facility’s unaccredited status does not prevent it from operating safely and legally, nor does it indicate any wrongdoing by the Byrds.
While Byrd’s law enforcement history and the daycare’s unaccredited designation have sparked debate, public records confirm the operation is fully licensed and compliant with Maryland regulations.
This situation highlights how individuals with high-profile careers can legally manage private enterprises, even amid intense public attention and underscores the importance of regulatory oversight in balancing safety, accessibility and public trust.
