Educare Central Maine’s free preschool program, in partnership with Waterville Public Schools, welcomes children from three to five years of age and teaches them the skills they will need for success in kindergarten.
Experienced, highly-qualified teaching teams implement Head Start philosophies in a developmentally appropriate curriculum that supports school readiness by developing language, literacy, math, social-emotional, physical, and other skills necessary for successful learners. A safe and supportive learning environment, and collaborative work with parents and families, promotes knowledge, interaction, and creativity.
Family Engagement
Family engagement is a major focus of Educare Central Maine. We know that parents/caregivers are their children’s most important teachers and we strive to build relationships with families to support each child’s learning. Some opportunities for parent/caregiver involvement include:
- Input into Curriculum
- Coffee Talks
- Parent Ambassador Group
- Policy Council
- Training, Support, and Networking events
- Volunteering
- Planning Committees
- And MORE!
