Our highly experienced staff and clean cozy environment help Linda's Pumpkin Patch quickly become part of the child's family and beautiful lasting memories are created both for the child and the care givers as the little 'pumpkin' grows and becomes ready for the transition to kindergarten. Our philosophy is that the first five years of childhood are the most important in development and learning.

This daycare is a gem! Very caring and lovely owners. Smaller daycare and very well run. The education program for toddlers and pre-schoolers is amazing. My kids are STEM project almost everyday. They do daily yoga and have the cutest holiday parties with music and special guests. My favorite is that all kids play at the same time so both of my kids see each other and can play even though they are in different age groups. I HIGHLY recommend this daycare.

My daughter has attended Linda’s Pumpkin Patch for about a year now. My family and I are still in awe everyday seeing all the crafts she comes home with and everything she learns. She excitedly goes to school every morning and comes home with an even bigger smile on her face as she tells us about her day. The teachers have been there for years which says a lot about the environment. The owners truly love the children and watching them grow. Just recently they received their license renewal through the state with “unicorn status” which is unheard of and means they had a perfect license renewal

Both of our kids went to pumpkin patch for 6 and half years and both of them graduated from there. They are outstanding. Diane and Linda are wonderful owners and it’s such a nurturing place. Jenn who is head of preschool and Maureen head of pre K are both nurturing and great and the assistants are also. We can’t say enough wonderful things about the place and miss it so much. Both of our kids loved it there and were beyond ready for Kindergarten.

My children attended Linda's Pumpkin Patch (LPP) and had a wonderful time. They reinforced important concepts including appropriate socialization skills, manners, health (yoga & nutrition), science (Slime-ology Class), math, art and reading. I have watched them properly prepare their students both emotionally and academically for Kindergarten. In fact, the staff is so experienced that the Pre-School Teacher, Ms. Maureen, has graduated 22 LPP classes. The teachers & staff also go above and beyond providing experiences that kids and parents will remember for a lifetime. These include pumpkin picking

I could not have asked for a greater experience for my children. The staff is amazing and caring and it begins with the owners. This isn't a place staffed by teenagers who aren't really paying attention to your children. Everyone cares and work together for a true family atmosphere. They're not just a baby sitting service. They provide a great educational foundation that truly prepares children for kindergarten. Their holiday shows / events and graduation are amazing! I am eternally grateful for all they've done for my children and family.

2 of my children have been through Linda’s Pumpkin Patch and my last will be staring in September. I have never been more pleased or felt as safe leaving my children here. The education and socialization is top notch. Both of my kids had no issues when staring kindergarten after leaving here. The first couple of months in kindergarten were review as they knew so much of the information already. I highly recommend the pumpkin patch!
