Our belief at Pumpkins is that we are facilitators, our mission is to assist and encourage our children in learning more of who they are, and then help them in developing and expressing themselves with beauty, confidence, love, and joy.

Knowledge is power, but more importantly it is how you use it with wisdom. One cannot teach wisdom, but at Pumpkins, it will be developed through a nurturing educational environment, from trial and error without condemnation, through love and compassion and with the understanding that each individual progresses at their own rate, in their own time.

Respect for this individuality is primary in developing healthy minds and healthy individuals. This is preferred over comparisons to others, which devalues the individual. Education needs to be creative, exciting, fun and flexible, or you've lost them!

Education consists of learning what has come before and what is presently occurring; learning from the past in order to create a better today and tomorrow. At pumpkins we provide students with a broad range of experiences, focusing not only on academics, fine arts, physical education and school preparation, but also developing an awareness of social and environmental needs. The curriculum at Pumpkins has been designed to bring forth the creativity and spontaneity in a child and thus encourage self learning.
