The facility offers engaging curriculum, excellent parent communication through photos and daily updates, nutritious meals, outdoor play, and a warm, nurturing environment where children are genuinely excited to attend.
Truly a phenomenal daycare and preschool! Pumpkin patch is an amazing place for childcare and education. Monique and her team truly love all of the children and we always felt so much warmth bringing our daughter to daycare. The communication with parents is excellent, between routine events in a little one’s day, meals, and even special notes about activities the kids have been doing. Speaking of activities, even little ones get involved in all sorts of arts and crafts, sensory experiences, and learning opportunities. The kids get plenty of time outside too when the weather permits it. Pumpkin Patch is what all daycares should strive to be, and if you’re looking for childcare in the region you will not find a better place. We’ve absolutely loved it!
Pumpkin Patch is amazing. Our daughter learned so much and was so loved while she was here. We get really good communication about her daily activities, photos of her, and daily notes of her meals/naps. One of my favorite things is how many activities they plan. There’s free play but also sensory activities, learning based around colors, shapes, and sounds, crafts, reading every day, and going outside to play most days. The kids get balanced meals and are surrounded with teachers who truly care. My family highly recommends and trust the Pumpkin Patch family.
As both a teacher at Pumpkin Patch Preschool & Child Care and a parent, I can’t say enough wonderful things about this place! My preschooler and school-age child both attend, and they absolutely love it here. The environment is warm, nurturing, and truly feels like a second home. The curriculum is engaging, play-based, and fosters a love of learning while also focusing on social and emotional growth. As an educator, I see firsthand the dedication of the staff, the thoughtful programming, and the genuine care that goes into every part of the day. As a parent, I have complete peace of mind knowing my children are in a safe, loving, and enriching space. I highly recommend Pumpkin Patch Preschool & Child Care to any family looking for a high-quality childcare experience!
We can not say enough amazing things about Pumpkin Patch. Our son started at 4 months old, and was immediately obsessed with the wonderful Ms Charlene. She is incredibly knowledgable, kind, and patient. All of the kids seem to be attached to her! As a first time mom dropping off my baby to a stranger, she made us feel so comfortable. As our son moved up to the waddlers and the toddlers room we continued to be surrounded by love and care from all of his teachers. Ms. Danielle is a constant ray of sunshine in our son's day! We love that she brings nature into learning and addresses each kids needs individually. Ms Jess goes above and beyond to keep everything organized and knows each kid so well. Ms Cailyn is fantastic at relating to the kids, and turning emotional moments into smiles. Ms. Monique who runs the school makes every effort to include parents and make decisions that are logical and within reach. I've never felt like the school over promised anything. We had a great time at the schools events like Trunk or treat, and going into the classrooms for thanksgiving pie celebrations. A lot of my friend's have never even seen the inside of their kids daycare classrooms at other schools, they are just dropped off in the lobby. There are days where my husband will spend an extra 10-15 minutes leaving because every kid needs a fist bump or high five or 2 on his way out. They provide all of the meals for the kids which is a huge relief as a busy working mom. This has greatly helped our son try new things because he sees all of the other kids eating it. The communication of what food will be served that week is always consistently sent out, and makes for a great talking point on the way home from school. We love that they use the brightwheel app so we always have an insight into what their day is like, and they provide updates if we are having an emotional drop off with smiling pics! Getting to see them play outside or doing arts and crafts is such a perk! Overall, we highly recommend Pumpkin Patch for Daycare. Your child will be loved, and cared for, and you will always feel like you know what is going on throughout the day!
My daughter has been going to Pumpkin Patch since she was 4 months old and they have been nothing but great to her and me! She is always excited to get to daycare and see her teachers and friends. You know it’s a good place when your child is excited to go. This is a safe place you can send your child where you don’t have to worry about anything!! My daughter has learned so much from going here and is almost 18 months now. I definitely recommend pumpkin patch to anyone parent looking for child care!! clean, reliable and safe.
