River School has been serving families in Yarmouth and surrounding towns since 2007. We are an arts and nature based preschool drawing from Reggio Emilia, Waldorf and Montessori philosophies. The classroom environments are warm, homey and loving. We have two outdoor play spaces and frequently go to Royal River Park. We are dedicated to helping children develop social and emotional skills by providing a culture based on community, while at the same time honoring children’s unique individual way of being. River teachers are not only facilitators of learning; we are observers and co-learners as well. Children search out knowledge through their investigations, and teachers share their own curiosities and wisdom alongside them. There is a strong focus on social collaboration, working in groups, where each child is an equal participant, having their thoughts and questions valued. We encourage students to be inquisitive, be respectful, embrace human differences, and to feel comfortable as the unique beings they are. Prices vary with full time and part time options, 3 or 5 day a week options as well.

KIDS PLACE CHILD CARE CENTER

374 NORTH RD CHEBEAGUE IS, ME

Come join our community by enrolling your child at Kids’ Place Center! Located on beautiful Chebeague Island, just a 15-minute ferry ride from Cousins Island, Kids’ Place offers high-quality, licensed early childhood education in a truly unique setting. For our mainland families, transportation is simple and safe: transportation-certified teachers meet students on Cousins Island by 8:15 a.m., accompany them on the ferry, and drive them the short 1.5 miles to Kids’ Place. At the end of the day, children return with a teacher on the 4 p.m. or 5 p.m. boat. What sets us apart is our island itself. Our program uses our extraordinary island home as a classroom—children spend countless hours outdoors exploring, learning, and playing in nature. We’re more than a childcare center; we’re a vital support to working families, a feeder to the Chebeague Island School, and a cornerstone of the year-round island community. Our building, designed specifically for early learning, opened in 2010 and includes bright, child-friendly classrooms, outdoor play areas, a quiet nap room, and a safe, inviting environment right next door to the Chebeague Island School. This space also supports our beloved summer programs, welcoming both year-round and seasonal island families. Our teaching philosophy blends free play, circle time, and Montessori-inspired activities designed to support age-appropriate growth. Children practice early literacy and math skills—sorting, counting, and beginning sounds—while also developing fine and gross motor skills. Every day includes music, art, outdoor play, and hands-on activities that foster problem-solving, sharing, and purposeful play. Above all, we nurture curiosity, creativity, and a love for our environment. At Kids’ Place, learning and community grow side by side. We can’t wait to welcome your child into our island family.

Carly K. says " Very reliable and our child has gotten excellent attention and care."

Kakalis Daycare Center

1838 Royalsborough Road Durham, ME

7 mi

We are a small and very affordable daycare, fully licensed and CPR certified. The main provider is Josephine Kakalis, who has been providing child care for over 30 years. We pretty much guarantee that we will be the lowest licensed child care provider in the area and encourage families to get state assistance for their child care if they need it. One of our current families pays nothing out of pocket and it is all paid by the state, so check with them if you need child care but don't think you can afford it. We provide state approved meals and also can help out with preschool/schoolwork if needed. We have a large outside play area in a huge sandbox (with rubber cushioning as well) with swings, slides, a clubhouse and sporting equipment. We are extremely careful about Covid-19 and we pretty much only go grocery shopping. We wear masks and even gloves and quarantine the products we buy before using them. You can never be too careful when there are kiddos involved!
