​
At Pumpkin Patch Academy, we believe that early childhood education is the foundation for lifelong learning andsuccess.
Our preschool is well-established and continuously growing, proudly offering dual-medium education in both English and Afrikaans to serve our diverse community.
​
We provide full-day care for children from 3 months to Grade R, operating Monday to Friday from 6:30 am to 5:30 pm.
We remain open throughout the year, closing only for a short festive break — usually from 15 December and reopening on the second Wednesday of January.
​
Our approach combines quality care, structured learning, and Christian values in a warm and nurturing environment.
We believe that children thrive when they feel safe, loved, and inspired, so our teachers and assistants work closely together to support every child’s intellectual, emotional, social, and physical development.
​
At Pumpkin Patch, we understand the importance of a healthy diet in growing minds.
That’s why our meals are prepared fresh on-site every day.
We serve wholesome breakfasts, hearty lunches, and provide nutritious snacks, fresh fruit, and juice to keep our children energised throughout the day.
​
Our spacious, well-equipped classrooms provide a stimulating and comfortable environment for learning.
We enrich our curriculum with educational shows, interactive activities, and fun events that make learning both exciting and memorable.
​
With a strong foundation in care, learning, and values, Pumpkin Patch Academy is more than a preschool — it’s a place where children are encouraged to grow, explore, and reach their full potential.
