Southern Kennebec Child Development

SKCDC operates Early Care and Education programs in Southern Kennebec County. Each program provides comprehensive early education, health, nutrition, and family services to enrolled children and their families. We believe children learn through play. We encourage children to explore the world at their own pace, with the loving support and guidance of parents and teachers. Our programs offer a child-centered curriculum which reflects the lives and interests of children and families. Teachers work together with families to provide activities and materials that reflect family backgrounds and cultures and are designed to foster the healthy development of self esteem, social, physical, and intellectual skills, as well as skills of effective communication. We recognize and respect the individuality of each child and family, and we strive to provide a learning environment within which each child and family can feel successful. All programs are developmentally, culturally, and linguistically appropriate and include all areas of growth: physical, language, social, emotional, and cognitive. Our Early Care and Education Programs are designed to provide quality education and care for each enrolled child aged 6 weeks to 5 years. SKCDC Child Care Centers are licensed and hold Step 4 Certificates of Quality by the State of Maine, Department of Health and Human Services.
