We highly recommend Pumpkin's Corner to parents who are looking for a loving and wholesome environment for their child. Teacher Vicky has been an integral part of our lives, nurturing and guiding our daughter for two years at her daycare, from the time she was just 2 years old until she turned 4. Over these formative years, Teacher Vicky has created a safe, enriching environment at Pumpkin's Corner that has allowed our daughter to thrive, learn, and grow in ways we couldn't have imagined. Our daughter started daycare right after the pandemic and we were worried about her adapting, but Teacher Vicky quickly bonded with her and made her feel secure and loved. Teacher Vicky’s dedication to her students goes well beyond the basics. She has a remarkable ability to make each child feel seen and valued. Through designing both cooperative and independent play, she has cultivated a sense of community among the children, allowing them to bond together through shared interests, while also celebrating their unique individuality. As the children have grown, so too have the activities that Teacher Vicky thoughtfully planned, always ensuring they were age-appropriate and engaging. Whether it's indoor activities like doing yoga, making pizza, doing fun crafts, or a dance party, or outdoor adventure like trips to the library, stomping in puddles on a rainy day, visiting the aquarium or one of San Francisco's beautiful parks, Teacher Vicky has created innumerable beautiful memories for our daughter. As our daughter advances on her educational journey, saying goodbye is bittersweet. Teacher Vicky has become a cherished part of our family, and we are deeply grateful for the love, care, and support she provided during these crucial early years.

Teacher Vicky at Pumpkins corner has been a huge blessing to our family. She helped us with potty training, was accommodating to our family and taught my daughter so much while she’s been there. She takes the kids on Field trips to the presidio, and Embarcadero and you can tell she truly cares about the well being of all the children. She’s also helped my daughter try food that we usually don’t cook at home and opened up her palette a bit. Would recommend her daycare to anyone!

We loved our time with Teacher Vicky! She was my child’s teacher at a previous program and her warmth and kindness left a lasting impression. Because the program is small, she really gets to know your child. We loved how child-centric her class is, and how she reads books and creates activities around their interests and developmental needs. You can tell she truly cares about her students inside and outside of the classroom.

I'd like to recommend Pumpkin's Corner to families seeking childcare. My child has been there with Teacher Vicky for almost two years, and we are sad to leave because we're relocating. Teacher Vicky is very good, especially helpful with potty training. Honestly, 90% of my child's smooth potty training process is thanks to her. She also arranges age-appropriate activities for the children. Now, my child practices writing letters and goes to the library every week to borrow books. The child-to-teacher ratio at the daycare is also excellent, with 3 to 5 children spending each day with Vicky and her assistant. The daycare also provides two snacks and lunch, which is very convenient for parents. Starting in August, there will be openings, so I highly recommend families in need of childcare to check it out.

Our son loves Teacher Vicky so much! She provides such a wonderful, nurturing environment - our son can't wait to go to school every morning. Best of all, Teacher Vicky provides all of the food (morning snack, lunch, and afternoon snack), so there is no need to pack a lunch! Our son likes Teacher Vicky's cooking more than mine! Our son's social skills and fine motor skills really blossomed at Pumpkin's Corner - we are so sad to be leaving Pumpkin's Corner and Teacher Vicky because of our move.
