Hello, and thank you for stopping by The Patch! Located in Mobile, Alabama, we are a preschool dedicated to providing the supportive and caring environment your child needs to prepare for kindergarten. Our hands-on and well-rounded academic curriculum fosters an early love for learning and also prepares children for their transition into kindergarten.
Each child participates in circle time, science, math, music, movement, art, dramatic play, and foreign language skills. In addition to an academic schedule for our preschoolers, we also work on being kind to our friends, sharing, and improving our language skills. Here, at The Watermelon Patch, we are not just a preschool or a daycare - we are a family.

Was so excited for my son to start a program because he had only stayed home with until this point. We have two older children and was excited to be a SAHM for a couple of years until we were ready for preschool. I heard about WPK and was excited to check them out!!!! We went in for our tour which was about 45 minutes. Basically the tour seemed to be their open opportunity to hand pick their students. My son was just turning 2 and the owner/director kept insisting I have my son checked for autism, because he was not talking yet at 25 months old. Her words about my son really hurt me all weekend

Words cannot express what The Watermelon Patch has done for me and my grandchild. I am 60 year old grandmother and found myself as a primary caregiver for a two-year-old. Being quickly overwhelmed with the situation, I started looking for some daily activities . A friend of mine recommended The Watermelon Patch. She said her grandchild loved it so much that when she came to pick him up he didn’t want to go home and leave his friends. The staff is loving and supportive and always seems to find the time to give much-needed encouragement or a kind comment about my grandchild. So thrilled to be a

I'll give 2 stars for the cleanliness and how friendly the secretary was when scheduling a tour. But that owner needs to find a new way to communicate to parents. How dare you say to me in front of my child " Have you done any testing?" Of course my child wanted to explore the NEW environment that he was in with toys all around. He's not even 2 yet! Last time I have been around any other toddler, they do the same. I also do not like that you can't tour the facility during the hours children are there. Every single place I have toured pre- school wise did not care when I wanted to come. As a parent

I can not say enough about how amazing this education center is. My daughter has been in attendance here for six months.
Like most children in their care, the only problem is trying to convince my daughter that it is time to leave. Her teacher Mrs. Linden is by far the most kind and patient teacher I have had the pleasure of working with. My children love her and the center. There are several teachers here, all are excellent and well versed in their profession. On most days my daughter inisists on saying goodbye to as many as she can.
The difference between this facility and most others is simple

This is the best preschool I have ever experienced. As both an educator and parent I can't even begin to express how much I love this place. My daughter has been attending TWP for almost 6 months now and she loves it. I have watched her grow socially and academically thanks to the amazing teachers, especially Mrs. Linden. My daughter is always so happy and excited to go to school. I can't thank this school and Mrs. Linden enough for the positive, loving environment they have created for my daughter and the other students. 💗

My children have attended this preschool for several years. We absolutely love the teachers, owner, facilities, and curriculum. They balance teaching with fun and play.
My daughter, who is now in 1st grade, went here for her preK. She got her educational base here and is thriving in elementary school. I have to give the credit to the Watermelon Patch. My son is in his 3rd year and is thriving as well. I wouldn't change a thing about their preschool eduction.
This is a premiere preschool. I am so glad we found the Watermelon Patch and that we got a chance to join their family. I will be very sad

My son is in the k3 class and goes three times a week now. We started him in the k2 class twice a week because he was a very shy little boy. He enjoyed it so much that we increased his days and he always has the biggest smile and is ready to tell me about his day every time we pick him up. He has really bonded with his teacher and the teachers there are so loving and patient. I'm very picky when it comes to schooling and the watermelon patch is the best.

The Watermelon Patch Preschool is a place of learning, compassion, and creativity. The curriculum is full of rigor and differentiates instruction based on the child's achievement. The students thrive in an environment that promotes personal growth and awareness. My son has been attending since he was 2 1/2 years old. He is now 4 and my heart flutters at the thought of him moving on to kindergarten. I am unsure if he will get the same academic rigor in a big boy school setting. As a teacher myself, I understand of trusting your child with someone all day who will teach your child just as much as

My husband was kind enough to let me know about a scathing review on this wonderful location. Please allow me to set the record straight.
This location has been working with my child for two years. My child is bright, imaginative and unique. The teachers here all take wonderful care in instilling great compassion, skills and understanding. We love all the teachers here.
Read a review you can depend on. As a nurse, I encounter all kinds of people from many walks of life. It does not take much to read between the lines of a frustrated parent. Nobody wants to admit they are not the perfect parent
