About

CURRENT OPENINGS: For children 2 and up only! Next infant opening is anticipated in January 2027!
Saddle Creek Children's Den is a licensed in-home daycare and preschool in Burtonsville, MD. My child care facility is located in the Saddle Creek neighborhood, near McKnew Local Park, McKnew Rd and Cedar Tree Dr. Your daily commute to work will be hassle-free since I have easy access to Sandy Spring Rd (route 198), Columbia Pike (US-29), Maryland State Route 200, and the I-95.
About Me:
I'm the owner and main caregiver of this charming family child care and preschool program. Like you, I’m also a parent, a mother to 3 children (my eldest is a 20 year-old who’s in the military, my second is 19 years old, and the youngest is 10 years old). I can certainly relate to your child care needs and concerns. I create a safe and happy environment where they can feel loved! I’ve been in the early childhood education field for 11 years. I was a substitute teacher for 5 years for another licensed daycare and a caregiver at a church daycare for 6 years. I’m very passionate about child care and really enjoy working with kids. I want to nurture them and help them develop valuable skills at an early age. Your little one will be in good hands at all times because I’m CPR, First-aid & M.A.T. certified.
Program:
Saddle Creek Children's Den is open all throughout the year from Monday through Friday between 7:00 and 6:00 pm. I follow the Play-based learning approach to make learning more fun and exciting. In addition to English, I can also teach your child Amharic upon request (note that my daycare is not a bilingual program, but this is still a wonderful opportunity for your child to be exposed to another language and culture, if you wish). I provide full-time and part-time care for infants as young as 3 months, as well as toddlers and preschoolers up to 6 years old. I serve morning and afternoon snacks to all kids attending my program (both included in the tuition). I also maintain a peanut and tree-nut free environment to avoid possible allergies. I’m excited about meeting you and your little one. Please contact us through CareLuLu to schedule a visit!

My daughter attends this daycare, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The owners are incredibly kind and genuinely caring toward the children. The facility is always clean, well-organized, and provides a safe, welcoming environment. One thing I really appreciate is how well they communicate—they consistently keep me updated and reach out whenever there’s anything my child needs. It’s clear they truly care about the well-being and... more

We’ve had a wonderful experience with this family child care since our son started attending at just 3 months old. As new parents, it was a big step to leave our baby in someone else’s care, but from the very beginning, the caregiver and her team made us feel confident, supported, and at ease. The environment is warm, nurturing, and always focused on the well-being and development of each child. Our son has grown significantly in terms of... more

The owner and her family run a wonderful daycare 7am-6pm and get help from their 2 daughters. They celebrate birthdays, review numbers, the alphabet, months of the year, and listen to music. They play on the deck with toys to ride, a slide to climb up & down, and love it. We were at another daycare in 20904 before, which was horrible. This daycare is amazing!

We have been at this daycare for almost a year now, and my daughter has been SO happy here!! My daughter can be quite shy with anyone other than me and my husband, but she quickly took a liking to her, and now gets so excited every time we pull up to drop her off for the day. The caregiver is incredibly kind and loving, and has become like family for my daughter. I love having peace of mind knowing my daughter is safe and so well cared for while... more

My son has been attending this daycare for the last 6 months. She has made him feel right at home from his first day, and it shows. He is always happy to see her when I drop him off. She is great with communication and has always treated our family fairly and with respect. We can't say enough good things about this daycare!

Thank you for taking care of my son who truly sees you as mum. The owner pays attention and takes great care of every child like her own. I always feel settled when I leave my son with her each day. May the Lord continue to provide strength to fulfill his will in raising future generations.

My daughter has been going to this daycare since April. The staff offers a friendly, kind and caring approach to looking after my daughter. The daily activities help to develop my daughter's learning as well as lots of playtime. They love her and treat her as their own and every morning she wakes up super excited to go to "school" because she wants to see her teachers and friends. Their communication is wonderful and are always there to help... more

She is one of the best caregivers. My daughter is always excited to see her in the morning. She is very professional, patient and caring. Her place is very safe and secure. My daughter has learnt a lot ever since she started going to her. I am happy with my decision of enrolling my daughter in her program. I highly recommend her.

I know the caregiver as a friend long before I became a mother and I used to be impressed by how patient, dedicated, attentive and caring she is with her kids. Hence, I didn't even think of any other places to send my kids whenever we needed. My son(now first grader) is so attached to her to the extent of calling her as his second mom. Spending time with her gave him the chance to learn a lot including the Amharic language. We still send (part... more
