Edit on 9/8/26: I only have one 0-5 and one 5+ space left!

Beginning Monday 9/21/26, have two openings for infant through Pre-K aged children. Additionally I have one school age space available on that date as well.

I accept CCAP and other childcare assistance programs.

My space and program are focused on creating learning opportunities through various play choices. I change what the space looks like based on the developmental needs and interests of the children I have enrolled.

We have a relaxed schedule that is based on routine and not the clock while minimizing transitions.

We spend as much time as possible outside and I provide both rain and snow gear for all enrolled children.

If you would like to learn more please message me and I am happy to answer any questions and/or schedule a tour.

As a provider who takes ccap/childcare subsidy and also knows many families for whom the program provides access to affordable childcare, knowing that Maine’s program is likely to not experience major changes is reassuring.

The Trump administration announced it will require states to provide more information to access money to make child care more affordable.

At the corral we work hard to spend as much time as possible outside in all seasons and weather. In past years, I have provided mud and rain gear for all children and for the first time this winter I will be able to provide winter gear as well! Boots, thermal socks, suits, hats and gloves for each child will now be provided. It’s been years of collecting and hard work but I am so excited to be able to offer this to my families now!
