Learning-Based Play for Academic and Social-Emotional Development

Preschool | 2 - 4 Years | Serving Lewiston, Brunswick, & Auburn, ME

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

Personalized Learning Plans for Kindergarten Excellence

Your preschooler learns the skills needed to transition into a formal academic setting. They write, draw, and use their ever-expanding vocabularies. The use of sight words and simple addition and subtraction help them to soar.

A Proven Curriculum for a Solid Headstart

We use the Funnydaffer™ curriculum plus an in-house curriculum to create themed lessons every month that incorporate play and development. Your child learns about seasons, animals, plants, colors, numbers, and more as they prepare for academic success. There is even a parent portion where families can take what’s happening in the classroom and continue the learning at home!

Small Classes That Mean More One-on-One Attention

Your child is in a class at or below state ratios with other learners in their age group. They have space and attention to learn at their own pace, and learning centers help your child’s teacher tailor their curriculum.

Focus on Self-Care Creates Responsible Children

Potty training and self-dressing are significant achievements for your little learner. As they grow, they learn special skills with the aid of their teachers. Your child learns to recognize, communicate, and execute their bathroom needs in a safe, supportive atmosphere.

Social-Emotional Development Skills Prepare Children for the World

Your child learns to identify how they feel and appropriate ways to handle their emotions. Your little one also understands how to be part of a social group and has the support they need to express themselves safely and confidently.

Daily Outdoor Adventures Promote Fitness, Imagination, & Friendships

Lewiston’s 5,000 sq. ft. playground features an outdoor classroom and padded spaces, perfect for safe exploration by infants and toddlers. Brunswick offers open green spaces and Little Tikes cars, encouraging active play and social interaction. Auburn’s natural play areas with outdoor kitchens and student gardens spark creativity and hands-on learning.

Safety and Security Are a Top Priority

You feel confident knowing that attentive teachers and staff are caring for your child. Playgrounds and facilities have a fence for your child’s safety, and there are secure entrance procedures, such as QR-check-ins, in place for everyone visiting the building.

The Procare© App Keeps You Connected

You can track your child’s daily activities through the Procare© app, where you can see photos and videos and get updates right from your computer or smartphone. Receive essential announcements that keep you informed about your child’s progress.

Parents Are Partners in the Learning Experience

Your feedback is an essential piece of your child’s development, and you can join their classroom during special events and celebrations. Parent partnership and communication are imperative to ensure your child has all the support they need.
