Hello, everyone!
I was wondering if anyone would recommend a great daycare place for children 3 and up. My son is temporarily in home care, and he will soon turn 3. I would like a place where daycare teachers are great, enthusiastic, and don't leave every two months. It has to have an outdoor playground, be away from the road, and offer a creative program. A big plus would be an excellent menu (on the healthy side). Flexible schedule is a plus. Not too crowded. Well, you get the idea, right? In Portland preferred, many others considered.
Thanks!!!

What can I do next?

Hi,
NOt exactly a daycare, but check out Pineland Farms in New Gloucester for Pre-School

I want to say they have a daycare facility on campus, but you'd have to give them a call. Also, if you are looking into enrichment activities try Fiddlehead center for the arts

I'm not familiar with the daycares in Portland, but I would suggest choosing one that is accreditied by the NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children). They have high standards very similar to yours. Good luck!!!

I've heard the Fiddlehead center is terrific! My boss has his twins there part time and they love it.
