Preschools or Nursery Schools

Nursery schools are licensed by the state of Maine, and are generally a good child care option for parents who are looking for a social and learning environment for their child on a morning or afternoon schedule. Nursery schools typically enroll children ages 3-5 and may run on a school-year calendar.

There are various types of preschool programs available, from a traditional program to a program that follows a specific approach (i.e.: Montessori or Waldorf). Knowing your child and his/her needs will help you to determine what type of preschool environment will suit him/her best.
