School Age Program

Pumpkin Preschool offers half days for children attending Kindergarten (AM or PM), as well as after school care for 1st and 2nd graders. We help with homework and provide a fun filled afternoon in a safe environment. This is especially convenient for our parents who have younger siblings attend the program for one stop pick-up.

We offer care when available for school age children on snow days and school breaks . We also offer full-time Summer Care up to age eight from June through August. Our extended hours make this a true savings from traditional summer camps.

The schedule below varies based on the time that each child attends the center.
