All Pumpkin Preschool locations offer monthly in-house field trips for our children – each are exciting and educational and coincide with a particular theme that varies month to month.

Our special monthly events are dedicated to enhancing each child’s learning experience by providing hands on learning and discovery. This adds to our STEM curriculum and supports the exploration of science and the world around us. We incorporate visits from health and safety specialists from our local community such as Police and Fire Fighters. We explore creatures that live in the ocean and on earth with visits that include marine life and small animals. We introduce local authors and musicians that support phonetic awareness and the love of the arts.

Our special events provide experiences that vary from the discovery of magnets and gravity to learning about baby chicks and bunnies to pony rides and story time with puppets. The importance of teacher directed activities and introducing new concepts enhances children’s play and can be seen during self-selected activities.

What better way to spark the love of learning than having someone who is very passionate about a subject introduce the concept to the child.
