Pumpkin Patch Child Care & Early Education Center - Westbrook, Connecticut

After interviewing over 5 daycare centers in the area, this daycare offered the most comprehensive and loving care I could find for my infant. She still misses her teachers, and I miss the amazing crafts my daughter brought home from school. I came in at random times, and showed up whenever I was in the area- I never felt I was intruding and always felt very welcomed. I felt my infant was well cared for, fed, diapered regularly and well socialized. My daughter was constantly hugged and held. She sang songs and danced as she learned how to stand on her feet. Miss Stephanie did an amazing job at taking care of my daughter for her first year and half of life. She would write detailed journal entries and have shaped Lily's personality into the joyful, fun and sweet toddler my daughter is today. They have very strict infant regulations and is audited every year if not more frequently. The facility director truly cares about all the children and could care less about the bottom line. She is a loving and wonderful individual- always on location, and rarely not there. Whenever they are down one person, Miss Teresa always chips in to help with loving arms.

The pumpkin patch has been the most amazing daycare experience for my 3 year old. The teachers are so nice, honest and do so much with the kids. Over the last year, my son has learned a lot, been toilet trained and developed amazing social skills. Amazing experience- would recommend for any parents looking for daycare.

We love the Patch! Our children have been going to the Patch for over 7 years now. The teachers and staff are exceptional and love our kids; they are nurturing, understanding, funny and caring. The students are academically prepared for kindergarten and are involved in developmentally appropriate activities all day. When we've had scheduling jams, Teresa has gone above and beyond and out of her way (literally!) to accomodate our needs. The "working mother guilt" has faded over the years because I know we have exceptional people helping us raise our kids. We know our children are safe, fed and cared for every day and have never, not once, had a complaint about any of the teachers there.

WARING!- Do NOT take your children to this facility.
Caregivers are disrespectful and rude to parent and children. Walked in on them yelling at two young boys.Children are left dirty and often don't get snacks. Neglectful care at best. Understaffed and poorly managed. They cut costs where they can instead of focusing on quality care. Employees are underage and under qualified and are open about not wanting to work there. Unsafe conditions! If you care about your child, stay away from this facility.
