Pumpkin Patch Preschool is a preschool program first and foremost. We do care for infants and toddlers when space is available.
Infant & Toddler spots are limited.
Infants:
I take special care of our babies, making sure there are safe areas for belly time on the floor lots of toys and clean beds for napping. Each baby has their own crib, bottles and place to store their belongings. Babies are fed and cared for on demand but I will work with you to keep the babies home and day care schedule as consistent as possible. I feel that tickles, hugs and smiles are as important as food to an infant so if I am spoiling your baby make sure you let me know.
Toddlers:
Our toddlers are exposed to all of the action going on around them. Our little ones are encouraged to explore, sing along, dance, and discover new skills as they grow. As the litlle ones get old enough to hold crayons and not eat them all I offer them time to creat on paper, finger paint etc. when they show an interest in the activities of the older group I welcome them to try new things. Keep in mind that daily routines of saying hello and goodbye, preparing and eating food, napping, diapering, toileting, brushing our teeth and dressing occupy a significant part of a young childs day. Routines are themselves learning opportunities, rather than events to be "gotten through" free play is also a very important learning time. Your child is probably learning the most when you least expect it.
