This daycare is truly wonderful. I wish I could give it more than five stars. The directors and teachers are incredibly loving, kind, and dedicated to the children. The facility is always clean and welcoming. My daughter has been here since she was six months old, and I recommend this daycare to anyone looking for a warm, reliable, and exceptional childcare.
This maybe a bit lengthy but it’s well deserved! When I first started looking for a daycare for my daughter I was extremely nervous especially that I am a first time mom. I did several visits to different places and one even spoke down about the pumkin patch. When I actually had the opportuney to visit there was this sense of peace. My daughter started attending this location since 5 months old and she is now 16 months. She absolutely loves her teachers!! Ana is one of her teachers and always keeps me updated regarding Ava. Sandy the director is amazing and was always available to answer any questions I had. I am truly so blessed to have found this daycare for my little one. I am now moving to another state and it breaks my heart knowing that I will have to go through this process again but I truly hope I can find a daycare as great as this one.
I started my child at the pumpkin patch in Avenel when she was 7 months old and now she’s almost 4yrs old . She loves the place and always want to go back , but now she will be going to the sister school (pumpkin patch )up the road for pre K. This is a great place to start your child’s road to life. Awesome teachers and staff, and convenient hours, so you can get the most out of your day. I wish she could have stayed her longer but, it’s time for her to grow up.
My daughter only last 8 days at this school! First off staff did not follow my directions on how to feed her. She drank formula at the time and it has to be disposed after an hour. I sent plenty of milk and bottles...and when I picked her up the I found out they had only made her one bottle for the day and continued trying to feed her from the same bottle. Huge red flag. Not only that but a staff member was feeding children cheerios from one bowl...with no gloves or utensil. She also made a rude comment about my child...who of course cried when I dropped her off...she is an infant after all! The final straw was I found blood in my child's diaper and of course took her to the dr right away to be told she had a small tear there from being wiped to hard! That was it for us! We lost money, but I wasnt going to expose my daughter to that place for another second!
I am completely disappointed with place. My son had a terrible experience which included all types of bullying, exposure to bad words, etc. Sadly, most caregivers are not as attentive as they should be, creating an unsafe and uncomfortable environment.
