Hey Parents! We're 4 Star Quality Rated with our QRIS System for Extraordinary Care

Learning Designed for Kindergarten Readiness

Children prepare for Kindergarten with solid pre-reading, early reading skills, essential addition, and subtraction. Your child’s teacher reinforces colors, numbers, shapes, health and safety, science, transportation, animals, and the seasons, so your child feels more than ready.

The Funnydaffer™ Curriculum Fosters Imagination & Curiosity

Teachers use the play-based Funnydaffer™ curriculum plus an in-house curriculum to meet your child’s needs. Your little one learns from age-appropriate, themed material and through hands-on activities meant to instill lifelong curiosity and prepare your child for their next academic steps.

Put the Focus on Your Child With Small Classes

Your child is in a class that meets or exceeds state staff-student ratios. Your child’s teacher can focus on their individual needs while helping them learn on their timeline. Learning centers give teachers tools to customize your child’s experience.

Potty Training and Self-Care for Well-Rounded Education

Heading to kindergarten is a big step in independence for your child. Self-care and potty training skills have a significant focus, as well as communicating bathroom needs. Your child is comfortable and confident in their self-care abilities.

New Social-Emotional Skills That Will Boost Confidence

Your child discovers how to follow classroom directions, play and work with others, and become accustomed to a school day’s structure. Their teacher monitors emotional development and helps them handle their feelings in an age and classroom-appropriate manner.

Ample Time To Play and Explore Outside

Lewiston’s 5,000 sq. ft. playground features an outdoor classroom and padded zones, ensuring safe exploration for infants and toddlers. Brunswick’s open green spaces and Little Tikes cars encourage movement and social play, while Auburn’s natural play areas, complete with outdoor kitchens and student gardens, foster creativity, teamwork, and hands-on learning.

Your child’s safety and security are always a top priority. Play areas are fenced and equipped with security cameras, and visitor protocols, including QR check-ins, ensure your child is in good hands at all times. The staff has the training needed to ensure your child’s safety.
