Your child is unique! That's why we have developed programs with each and every individual child in mind. Our curriculum and programs have been developed for children from six weeks to twelve years of age.

Infant (6 Weeks to 12 months)
Infants six weeks to twelve months of age are cared for and nurtured by our professional staff in their own private and personal environment filled with color and stimulation to meet the needs of their development. A daily individual journal is kept on their progress of early development stages, which is a communication vehicle between parents and staff.

Waddler (12 months to 18 months)
Waddlers range from twelve to eighteen months of age. This program has been designed to develop a sense of awareness in the area of color, sound, textures and feelings and the curriculum prepares the Waddler towards their first step of independence before entering into the Toddler program. Daily activity reports are provided.

Toddler (18 months to 3 Years)
Our Toddlers enjoy safe and protective surroundings to explore and develop new abilities. Small and large muscle coordination is developed through outside and inside free play with age-appropriate toys. Daily activity reports are provided.

3-Year Olds
The three-year old will begin to experience the joy of self-expression in the areas of music, science, arts & crafts, movement, story hour, cooking and organized games in our supervised play areas. We also emphasize learning to share with friends and developing self-help skills and respect for others and materials.

4-Year Olds
The four-year old program is designed to prepare your child for Kindergarten and help your child to reach the height of their individual capabilities. Our nursery school component of the program is offered from 9 am to 11:30 am and will include teaching the following skills:

Social: Encourage your child to make choices and become more independent

Emotional: Increase your child's self-assurance

Academic: Introduce the alphabet, numbers, concepts such as same/different, name recognition and printing of name, address, telephone number, science experiments, social study units, drama and cooking.

Pre-K Program
Five-year olds not entering Kindergarten will be offered our Pre-K Program where they can experience a learning program that will stimulate their interests for expanding social and language skills.

Before & After School Care
Our Before & After School Program has been developed to meet the needs of school age children and their parents. Age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, cooking, music, outdoor play, group projects, and time to do homework are offered. For your convenience, transportation is provided to and from the local elementary schools and every effort is made to assist in a smooth transition from school to Pumpkin Patch.

Summer Camp
Recognizing that the need for childcare continues year round, we offer a Summer Camp program in addition to our yearly childcare program. Our Summer Camp operates daily from 9 am to 1 pm for ages 18 months to 9 years. A typical camp day includes sports and organized games, arts and crafts, music/dance/drama, science and cooking, computer exploration, swimming, weekly field trips to local points of interest, outside play in our supervised areas, weekly themes, special events and guest speakers.
