our director
Hi! I’m Michelle Batterton aka ‘Miss Bee’, owner and main caregiver at Pumpkin Patch Acres Early Learning and Child Care.
I have worked with children professionally for over 30 years as an educator, private tutor, and daycare owner/director.
After exploring a variety of educational approaches over the years, I fell in love with the Waldorf philosophy and have dedicated myself to learning and applying its principles and techniques to my program.
I only keep a small number of children in my care (six maximum) and work well with families who value a wholesome, traditional childhood experience and a safe, reliable alternative to over-stimulating daycare centers.
I would love to welcome your family to our little patch!
We operate legally in the state of Idaho as a small family home daycare. We do not accept ICCP.
