About the Provider

Description: My name is Cynthia Saddler I have over 25 years experience working with children. I volunteered for the Philadelphia school board 7years.I worked for the Headstart program for 5 years, The Kids Place for three years and Kiddie Academy for 10 years, previously I owned a home daycare named Cindy's Angels for 2 years and now in the process of opening Dreams Home Daycare in Howard county. I also worked as a dental assist for a children's dentist. I have three children of my own who are grown and have children of their own. My four grand children ages are 14,7,4,and 17 months. I enjoy working with children and love them as if they are my own. I'm excited to open my Dreams Daycare to my new children and watch them grow and learn while being happy and cared for in a safe and loving environment.

Do not enroll 2023-10-18 15:19:46
I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Do not enroll there are safety issues. It started off well but as my child got older they were feed. Food was returning and the provider made rude and nasty comments about other children and parents. They were reported to both the community and child service. Please listen to you inner voice when it tells you something isn't right. My child was removed for their safety. I don't think the provider as all the training they said they have because offer comments on development and growth that she should be aware of they weren't. Daycare needs to be investigated for the safety of the children.
