Pumpkin Patch Early Childhood Center

The Pumpkin Patch Early Childhood Center provides a child-centered program in a secure, loving environment that is designed to support the development of young children to their fullest potential.

Each child is a special little human being with unique needs. Understanding and meeting those needs is of utmost importance to us. To accomplish this, it is imperative to work closely with parents in a complimentary manner.

We are dedicated to the goal of providing programs aimed at total child development. Research has firmly demonstrated the importance of establishing a solid emotional, social, intellectual and physical base during the child’s early years. Our curriculum is professionally designed to do this.

EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT is accomplished by nurturing children toward an inner sense of trust and autonomy. Our goal is the development of a positive self-image in order for the children to experience good feelings about themselves and their words.

SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT is accomplished by helping children develop feelings of independence while being able to accept help and guidance from teachers and peers. Our goal is to guide children toward the development of self-control and the ability to participate with group members in a cooperative and satisfying manner. Emotional and social development are the foundation blocks that make it possiblefor children to utilize intellectual capacities.

INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT includes first-hand experiences in grasping appropriate concepts that enable children to think and reason as they face the challenges of each new task. Intelligence is measured by the number of ideas a child possesses.

PHYSICAL GROWTH is accomplished by the development of large and small muscles. An appropriately planned motor development program is provided.
