I’d like to take a minute to write a review on the Pumpkin Patch in Hackettstown where my son Arrow has attended for coming on two years now . I’m giving this rating 5 stars because that is the maximum, but deserves 10 . I want to fist address the owner Margie . Margie is a very kind , well spoken and knowledgeable daycare owner who always has a smile on her face and answers your questions or concerns personally when you have a question. Every morning when Arrow is dropped off she is there greeting the parents and never rushes you out the door . Jill works there too, and she is Margie’s daughter and you can tell right away as she shares the same qualities as her mother. Let’s address the cleanliness of this place! I will honestly say I have never seen a cleaner daycare in my life , or a place that never had an unpleasant smell or a bad day . The teachers here are all excellent people who take the time to send you nice pictures during the day on the brightwheel ap , and also answer you immediately if you have any questions or concerns. I have forgotten things, many things including lunch a couple times in the last two years . They never made me feel stupid , they just took care of it and always have extras there and don’t nickel and dime you for things . It’s odd to honestly say in two years I have zero complaints. If you’re looking to leave your child due to work, or socializing this is the place . I highly recommend The Pumpkin Patch and this place will always remain in my childhood memories and milestones for my boys . Thankyou for being such an incredible facility and I’m so happy I chose your place over any other I was looking at . Shout out to Miss Dina who has been exceptional and a teacher of favorite for my son . I never felt bad leaving him because of the interaction these women have with children. They treat these kids like their own !

As a first time Mom, I was incredibly stressed when trying to pick a daycare- but I’m so glad that we found Pumpkin Patch. My husband and I went 6 months before our due date (so 10 months from when she would start) to visit and take a look around. Margie, the owner, was so kind and even stayed open late to accommodate my husband and I. We knew instantly that Pumpkin Patch would be the best place for our daughter immediately after seeing it, and luckily we secured a spot! They’re pricing is very reasonable, and their rooms are very clean and organized. Leading up to her start date, Margie was very flexible with me about her start date, answering emails and patient as I was getting the hang of what I would need daily (while stressing... because again- new Mom!).
Now, since my daughter has started attending this past June (at 4 months old), we are so put an ease that she is so looked after and cared for. Margie and her daughter Jill are so wonderful at answering any questions and never make me once feel like a silly new-Mom about it. The staff is equally as fantastic, always sending photos and updates and a brief little “she did great today” comments during pick-up. It’s also relieving to know that while I'm at work, she’s being socialized, learning new things daily and that she can continue develop in her milestones while in great hands. They have fun events/themes, and most of all you can tell how much the other kids love coming when you see them walk through the door and immediately go running back to their teachers/care-givers. I was heartbroken (but at the same time- thrilled) that after a day or so, my daughter was smiling and so willing to jump in the arms of Margie/Jill and her other caregivers during drop off- but it goes to show how much she already enjoys being there.
I can’t recommend Pumpkin Patch enough to anyone in the area. As I said above, we are so beyond happy with Margie and her team!

Absolutely love this place. I initially brought my children to A2Z Academy thinking it was better because of the reviews. NOT THE CASE AT ALL! This place has way better staff who are attentive and understanding. The director here, Margerie is a sweetheart! My daughter even tells me she feeling so much better here. This place also has cameras so lifts a major weight off my shoulder. My daughter has fun and learns a lot here. I highly recommend this place in hackettstown.

This Pumpkin Patch is a great Preschool the last Preschool my son was in was horrible. The Pumpkin Patch really cares about the kids. My son is so happy that he's going to this Daycare and they make sure my son eats his food and he always comes home happy.

Pumpkin Patch in Hackettstown is beyond what I wanted, and what I expected for a daycare for my baby. I am a first time mom with absolutely no experience with a baby at all so I was so terrified leaving her with anyone. The second I went to interview and meet the teachers I felt safe. The idea of leaving my baby daughter was gut wrenching but they just made me feel so relaxed. The teachers are amazing- loving, friendly, patient and understanding of my fear. Pictures and messages all day. Ada loves them. I couldn’t ask for a better experience- I don’t know how they do it. It’s clean it’s loving it’s adorable. The teachers are relatable, take time to answer questions or just chit chat. I can’t say enough good things about them. My daughter is my everything and I won’t even let my parents watch her- but the teachers at pumpkin patch? I trust them with my daughters safety. They’re Angels.

I have had a great experience at the Pumpkin Patch over several years. The teachers are so caring and the owner is always on site and responsive. The quality of the curriculum is top notch and very well thought out so that the students are very much engaged.

I absolutely love this school. I have been affiliated with them for many years. The Director Margie is great to work with, she listens to any concerns and works with you to address them which is very important to me.The staff at the Pumpkin Patch are really a good bunch of people to deal with. Most of them have been there awhile, which says a lot about any pre-school.You can feel comfortable sending your baby or child here and be assured they are in good hands with the staff.

Horrible daycare. I had to take my daughter out because the staff member put her hands on my daughter and they tried to down play the incident as if it was cool. And the other staff member thought i didn't see her giving my daughter a wide eyed look when i dropped her off in the mornings. She wasn't eating her food or drinking all day long. But i think they weren't giving my child her food. Nonetheless don't send your child to the either of the pumpkin patch daycares. They need to be shut down. School always stink like dirty diapers and the staff is always in a huddle. They don't teach anything and kids be all over the place in the wrong group age classes. STAY CLEAR FROM THIS DAYCARE. Only gave it a 1 star so that i can write my reviewThis daycare deserves no stars and need to be shut down

Unstructured, kids are always crying when I come in. My child loved his old day care. Now they cry when I drop them off and pick them up.

My daughter has been at the Pumpkin Patch since she was 15 months old, she is now 4 going on 5. I love the daycare and the staff. For a daycare, they have the most consistent staff. My daughter loves all the staff and students. Ms. Margie and her staff do a good job at ensuring the kids have picture day, book fairs, and a small academic curriculum for the pre k and Kindergarten children. I love the themes! Highly recommended, my child is always safe and well cared for.

My children have attended this daycare for years. They both started as infants. Margie, the owner along with every other teacher have been absolutely AMAZING! Each day I leave my kiddos without worry. The center is extremely well kept, clean and affordable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.
