Pumpkin Patch Day Care Centre

Words can't describe, how awesome this daycare really is! My daughter has NEVER had a moment where she did not want to go into school! What I appreciate the most about Pumpkin Patch is how organized they are, professional, the teachers are amazing; they go above and beyond with planning and include everything going on (cultural events, earth day, celebrations, amazing activities). Aa I walk through the other classrooms to get to my daughters classroom, I can hear and see how engaged and thoughtful the other teachers are. As a former ECE, I can tell how much effort the teachers and staff put to make your kid feel welcomed and to make your concerns a priority! I can go on and on about Pumpkin Patch, it's honestly the best decision I made to place my girls here for their education and well-being. Thank you for all you do. I can't wait for my little one to join you soon.

What an extraordinary daycare! I have very high expectations and Pumpkin Patch met and exceeded them. The teachers are smart, knowledgeable and caring. I know my child is in excellent hands.

Absolutely fantastic daycare, my daughter is learning a lot and is very happy. Great staff!

Our son started in the infant room at Pumpkin patch and then moved onto the toddler room. I really don’t have enough good words to say about this daycare. From our first to our last day we have been so happy with this facility and so grateful to all the wonderful staff who looked after our son. They are so kind and caring and our son was always so happy there. Thank you to all the amazing staff for your incredible care!

My toddler is so excited to go here each morning and he is all smiles upon pick up! A HUGE difference from our other daycare experiences! The staff here is wonderful and huge on communication. We absolutely love Pumpkin Patch!

My two daughters went there for a few years. They set the bar very high. Everyone is nice and easy to talk to. This daycare left our family with many beautiful memories

Great daycare. The staff are so welcoming, my daughter feels right at home. I love receiving updates on what the class is learning and seeing all the fun and interesting activities the teachers in the infant room plan for them. My older one started going to the school aged program for PA days when our daughter enrolled and he loves attending. He said he would rather go there for the summer over YMCA camps. Great childcare provider.

If I could go lower I would.If your child has any type of special needs or even on the spectrum. Don’t send them here. They unfortunately don’t get the attention they need or the proper lessons.I’ve been sending my son for year and a half. I’m joyful he starts school next month so I won’t have to deal with that daycare again. My son is on spectrum and they didn’t care. My son had his neck twisted in the swing outside by another child and the teachers tell me they didn’t see so they don’t know and that the cameras they had needed new batteries and weren’t working. He’s been sent home in gross diapers, sent home with empty bottles refusing to fill it up for him. My son missed out on Valentine’s Day because as the teacher quoted “he didn’t get any cards from his backpack so we didn’t think he had any”. He didn’t get to do proper activities because he was left to the side. He was so sad he didn’t get to hand out cards, I had him do it at home with family. School didn’t care, any issues I made or asked them to adjust for special needs they denied. There nutrition times are strict and if you take your child in between these times they won’t eat till lunch time. I just started getting more accident reports because I made a huge deal about his neck in the swing. I was recommended this daycare to help with my son and all it’s done is add more stress to my plate. My son is going to kindergarten still unprepared all because they couldn’t go slowly and let him participate. If your child is behind in any way or struggling with learning DO NOT SEND THEM HERE!

I personally felt that my daughter regressed once i enrolled her here, i had to speak to the supervisor more than once about the seemingly irritable disposition of her infant room staff specifically (the older staff) towards the children, i thought their practices in regards to consequences were outdated and ill-practiced. Not to mention i walked into the infant room to see my 2 year old lifted by her one hand, air borne by one of the teachers that i initially thought was one of the kinder ones out of the bunch, this was in 2019. Once i spoke to the supervisor she spoke to the teacher and removed her to a different classroom in the facility. My daughter came home continuously with a seriously soiled diaper, diaper rash, and my toddler was absolutely miserable when she attended. I heard now, some rooms are closed due to a covid outbreak which is not hard to believe, considering my daughter was continuously sick when attending, ive heard of other parents expressing concern for the cleanliness of the facility when i attended, thankfully i have found a daycare outside of pumpkin patch that tends to the social emotional health and wellbeing of my child in a gentle, patient manner allowing her an easier and happy transition into school. This facility, or atleast the teachers in the infant section did not possess. Either they are overworked and underpaid or just not in the right feild.

I highly recommend this daycare as my son feels like home and looks forward to going to his daycare everyday. It just took him two days to transition. The staff is thoughtful, compassionate, creative, multi-cultural and engaging. I am equally in love with the team and the infrastructure.
