Miss Cindy's Child Care's photo

I love to watch each child grow up into his or her individual person! My entire family room (6 steps below my kitchen) is all child care. When I make lunches, I can still see all the children playing. Lots of outdoor play (weather permitting) in my fenced yard. I have been doing child care for 20+ years, and I love…
