Child Care Center
At The Housing Foundation’s Child Care Center, we believe every child deserves a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment to grow, learn, and thrive. Located in Maine and thoughtfully designed for children from infancy through preschool, our center blends high-quality early childhood education with the values of community, support, and accessibility.
A Place to Grow & Learn
Our Child Care Center provides a warm, inviting space where children feel comfortable and confident. We serve infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, offering age-appropriate classrooms with engaging activities, play spaces, and dedicated educators who understand early childhood development. We emphasize social-emotional growth, school-readiness skills (pre-K), and fostering curiosity through play-based exploration.
