We loved the Pumpkin Patch in Westbrook. I was actually sad to leave when we moved to IL. If you are a teacher, they work with you and you pay for the days you use which was VERY helpful for our budget. While a lot of centers make you pay for 5 days a week wether you use them or not. Our daughter started there when she was 4 months old and stayed until we left at 3 years old. The teachers and teacher aides treated our daughter like she was their own. They sent me videos of her first steps at the school and pictures of her during the day. And they always had the cutest activities for the kids. They were so creative and nurturing. The classrooms look a little chaotic, but as a teacher, I know many times what looks like chaos is actually learning. My daughter thrived at The Pumpkin Patch.
WARING!- Do NOT take your children to this facility.
Caregivers are disrespectful and rude to parent and children. Walked in on them yelling at two young boys.Children are left dirty and often don't get snacks. Neglectful care at best. Understaffed and poorly managed. They cut costs where they can instead of focusing on quality care. Employees are underage and under qualified and are open about not wanting to work there. Unsafe conditions! If you care about your child, stay away from this facility.
