Pumpkin Patch Daycare: Pumpkin Patch Daycare

About Me

My husband, Jason, and I have been married for 20+ years and have seven children. Princess and Sunshine are 16 years old; Cupcake, LoveBug and Ri-Bear are 11; BoBo is 9 and NiNi is 2 . I have been caring for children since my young teen years. First as a babysitter and then as a church nursery worker. When I was a Freshman in high school, I directed my first of 5 children’s theaters at the local Opera House which put 40 children between the 1st & 8th grade in my care for 2 ½ hours 5 days a week. As a senior in high school I worked with the youth in my church and did this through college as well. After Jason and I were married I started doing childcare out of our home and did so until we moved to Spearfish. Shortly after moving here our daughter was born and so I decided to take a break, three months later our son came into our lives. Pumpkin Patch Daycare opened on October 28th, 2008 and Closed on November 23rd, 2016.

Philosophy & Goals

Philosophy

Pumpkin Patch Daycare believes a child's early experiences enrich and stimulate future growth. Children deserve to be treated and respected as individuals in an environment that welcomes reason, exploration, question, and imagination. We respect each childn's need for love, security, acceptance, warmth, and stimulation.

Goals

While in my care your child will have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of activities, which promote all aspects of development. Family childcare provides for children the comfort and experience of belonging to an extended family. I provide a home like setting, therefore I do not follow a strict routine. My approach to childcare is child directed. Children are offered choices whenever possible.

Pumpkin Patch Daycare

I am opening Pumpkin Patch Daycare in Spearfish, SD. It will be an in home daycare center for children before school years. At this time I have three openings for infants. Please feel free to call 605-641-6880 or email at pumpkingpatchdaycare@yahoo.com to get more information and set up your interview today!

A little about myself...I am a stay at home mother of two adopted children. AG is 2 years old and E is 21 months old. They are little blessings and I love being their Mommy! My husband and I have been married for 6 years now. He is a pastor and an electrician here in town. I have been working with children since my early teen years when I started baby sitting and also working in the church nursery. When I was a freshman in High School I directed my first of 5 Children's Theaters between the Lake Benton Opera House and the Pipestone Community Theater. These put 40+ children between 1st and 8th grade in my care for 2 1/2 hours 5 days a week. As a Senior in High School I worked with the youth in my church and did this through college as well. After J and I were married I started doing childcare out of our home and did so until we moved to Spearfish. Shortly after moving here our daughter was born and so I decided to take a break, three months later our son came in our lives.

I look forward to meeting you and your little Pumpkins!
