As the owner of Pumpkin Patch Childcare & Learning Center, I feel so blessed and grateful for the opportunity to provide children with an environment that is as fun as it is loving and enriching. The saying, “when you love what you do, you never work a day in your life” I truly feel applies to me. I have found a passion that I was fortunate to be able to turn into a career. I am also so grateful for all the experiences, love and learning my own 4 children have received, and continue to receive and experience at Pumpkin Patch Childcare & Learning Center by the outstanding and amazing staff members! After almost 2 decades of working in childcare that seemed to pass by as quickly as just a few years, I look forward to many more decades ahead!

Pumpkin Patch Childcare & Learning Center Family Member Since 2002
“I began my first child care center position in 1993 while I was going to college. I found working in a child care center to be extremely exciting and rewarding. As I continued working at child care centers during college and after graduating, I developed a strong belief in the power and importance of early childhood education.
“From the moment I walked in the door of Pumpkin Patch Childcare & Learning Center in August of 2002, I knew I had found a center that matched my beliefs in what early childhood education is and what it can be: a place that provides children a comfortable place to learn and grow; a place where learning is fun and exciting; a place where childhood is celebrated.
“As the Director, I take pride in providing support and education to the staff members, assisting parents in finding help and resources for their children, and helping to provide a loving, warm, and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and enjoy themselves.”
