Our Program ๐ŸŒฑ

Hi! Iโ€™m Miss Bee, owner and caregiver at Pumpkin Patch Acres Family Home Daycare. I am a wife, mother, and teacher with over 30 years of experience in early childhood education and childcare.

I am certified in CPR/First Aid, have extended background checks and operate legally under Idaho law as a license-exempt family home daycare.

Our days at Pumpkin Patch Acres are guided by traditional learning, with an emphasis on practical life skills, imaginative play, purposeful activities, and age-appropriate independence on a small, working homestead.

Healthy meals and snacks are not just provided, but ingredients are planted, grown and harvested here in our dedicated children’s garden.

We cook, bake, clean and sew along with playing, learning and practicing good table manners. We collect eggs, plant seeds, harvest honey and learn to appreciate and respect nature.

Preschool is offered from September through May and includes reading, writing, math, art, music, movement and natural sciences.

Our unique environment provides opportunities for learning and exploring that your child won’t receive at a typical daycare or preschool. Children leave our care confident and prepared. ๐ŸŒฑ
