Pumpkin Place

At Pumpkin Place and Little Oaks, we create a nurturing and stimulating environment where young minds can explore, learn, and grow. With over 30 years of experience in childcare, we're a premier childcare center in the Greater Tri-County Area, prioritizing educational and social development alongside creative play.

Our Vision

Our mission is to foster a love of learning, fostering each child's social and emotional growth. We believe in providing a safe, secure environment where children can discover their potential and reach their full capabilities.

Quality Care & Educators

Our dedicated team of experienced educators is passionate about nurturing young minds. With nurturing guidance and positive reinforcement, our teachers create a fun and stimulating classroom atmosphere that encourages exploration and discovery.

Curriculum & Activities

We offer a developmentally appropriate program for children from 6 weeks old through 12 years old, encompassing infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children. Our curriculum combines traditional learning methods with hands-on experiences, tailoring the learning process to each child's individual needs and interests.

Through daily activities, children develop valuable skills in:

• Social & Emotional Development: Collaborative games, role-playing, and conflict resolution activities foster social connection and emotional intelligence.

• Cognitive Development: Jigsaw puzzles, storytelling, and creative art projects stimulate imagination and cognitive growth.

• Physical Development: Outdoor play, dramatic play, and physical activities encourage large motor skills and physical fitness.

Safety & Security

The health and safety of your child is our top priority. We adhere to stringent guidelines and implement comprehensive measures to ensure a secure and nurturing environment for young minds.

Our commitment to safety includes:

• Enhanced security measures and access controls
• Nutritious meals made on-site with attention to dietary needs
• Transportation options for added peace of mind
• Spacious playgrounds and outdoor play areas
• Regular health and safety inspections

Family-Centered Approach

We believe in open communication and collaboration with parents. Regular updates, parent-teacher conferences, and open communication channels ensure a smooth and fulfilling experience for both children and parents.
