  • Communication.

    Our teachers communicate regularly with parents to make sure you receive information about your child’s daily adventures and learning journey at our center. Through Brightwheel, our Parent App, you will maintain a record of photos, learning stories, developmental milestones, and suggestions of how you can support your child’s language learning and development at home.

  • Experience.

    We use Maine Early Learning and Development Standards to guide your child’s development and learning. We plan cultural studies that integrate learning in the areas of social-emotional, physical, early literacy, pre-math, science, social studies, fine motor development, and much more! Play is always an important part of our day!

  • Learn.

    We encourage free play for children to interact with their peers, and learn to regulate their emotions. Plus, having exposure to other cultures helps them become more empathetic children. Along with an immersion program in Spanish and exploration of nature. We will teach your child to excel at academics through another language along with their home language.
