The Kids' Place - Licensed Child Care Center
This Week at Kids' Place - Ending 3/26/2021
The Kids' Place will be open Monday through Thursday 7:30 to 4:30pm. Ages 6 weeks to 12 years welcome.
Every day is learning for our young island children. Each day is filled with free play, circle time, and activities geared towards age appropriate development. Children work on sorting, counting and beginning sounds as well as developing fine and gross motor skills. Most importantly, children learn to problem solve, share and engage in purposeful play together. Every day we will sing songs, read, play outside and work on arts and crafts. We will explore the island as much as possible and foster a love for the outdoors and our environment.

About the Kids' Place:
The Kids' Place is a successful child care service attracting over 100 children through out the year. The program has been a vital support to young, working parents and has the potential to attract families with young children to the Island. It is also a feeder to the Chebeague Island School.
The Kids' Place has started a new nursery school program, to give structure and enrichment to our child care offerings. The children spend many hours outdoors exploring our island. The program focuses on using our best resource, our island home, as a classroom.
The new Kid's Place building opened Summer 2010 and is designed to meet specific needs as well as meet all the code requirements for a day care facility. There is appropriate space for activities, play areas, a child-friendly bathroom, storage and a separate quite napping room for infants and toddlers. This building is essential to our summer programs, as our numbers often reach in the mid to high teens. For the past two years, we have winterized the building to save money in the winter.
The Kids' Place offers care for children ages 6 weeks to 12 years. Whether you just need child care for a couple hours, the whole day or weeks at a time, we can meet your needs. Summer kids and local kids are all welcome!!!
We offer full-time and part-time child care. Drop-in care is also available as long as we have room. Some days are pretty busy so call ahead to be sure there is space that day.
