Pumpkin Patch Childcare Center
An integral part of Lafayette House's commitment to community well-being. As a state-licensed facility, we open our doors to clients of Lafayette House, partner agencies, and the wider community, providing unparalleled care for children aged six weeks through twelve years old.
Our vision is centered on delivering the highest standard of quality childcare, fostering physical, emotional, cognitive, and developmental wellness. At Pumpkin Patch, we strive to create a safe, nurturing, empowering, and creative environment where children can freely explore their surroundings, construct knowledge, and make healthy choices.
Embracing Project Construct's goals and theories, we seamlessly integrate them into our daily routines, especially for our preschool-age children, ensuring a holistic approach that aligns seamlessly with Lafayette House's overarching mission.
