Pumpkin Patch Preschool & Child Care

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!

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!

If you are a parent putting your children into Daycare for the first time ever, reading reviews to try to find the best place, look no further. This is it! Not to TMI, but my children and I have had a traumatic few years. Moving from a major city across the country to a tiny town in the woods, losing multiple family members, a cancer diagnosis, to learning to be a single mother.. saying “I had a lot going on” was an understatement. I had ZERO help, I was a village of 1. After trying an at home daycare first (I was afraid to put my baby into childcare for the first time, I assumed “at home” would be closest to being home with mom) I realized I needed a daycare with more availability, but still wanted my child to feel important, and not like another number in the crowd. Everyone in town recommended this place, and we were so blessed that a spot opened up at Pumpkin Patch! Idk where to start haha. Monique is fantastic! She’s the owner, and she is extremely helpful with figuring all of this stuff out (especially if you need financial assistance or a voucher which we did at first) again, we had never used a “real Daycare” so I had no idea how everything worked and she’s been beyond kind and patient with us. My son has been there for about 6 months and it was the best choice I could’ve made. I loved them so much I got my 6 year old in for after school as well, he begs to go now lol. They engage the children all day long, art projects are so cute to pick up at the end of the day!!! They have a new building, a beautiful playground, 2 actually, one for the older kids, and a more age-appropriate playground for the little ones. The world is wild these days, but I feel Pumpkin Patch is extremely safe, there’s even a code to pick up your child which I appreciate! If you’re curious what your child is doing during the day, they constantly update the app with pictures and notifications. I know every time she has a diaper change, takes a nap, or eats a snack! Communication is amazing. Their workers are great, my son absolutely adores Miss Jess, but everyone is kind and friendly, no attitudes or being rude for asking questions or sharing concerns. I think that’s it haha! Tl:Dr: They have all the amenities you’d find at a major city daycare, but a small down home feel. This is a long review, but they deserve it!!! From one small business owner to another, I know how important reviews are, they definitely earned this one and more!!! Check them out you won’t regret it (:

My son LOVES going to school at Pumpkin Patch! He started about 6 months ago when he was 2yrs old and has learned so much already! He REALLY loves his teachers & friends! The staff have all been amazing & we are so thankful knowing he's in such good hands, learning & having fun!!
