Testimonials from Maiden Cove Parents
“Our relationship with Maiden Cove goes way back to the mid-1980s when my husband was a student of Mrs. Farris! When we moved back to Maine we enrolled our daughter, and she was a student there for 2 years before moving onto kindergarten. Her younger brother is now in his second year at Maiden Cove! Our kids and we could not be happier with their time at Maiden Cove. It is such a special place where the emphasis is placed on all the “right” things: respect, fun, and friendship. The skills learned and experiences had at Maiden Cove more than prepared our daughter to be an eager citizen in kindergarten, and we are so happy that our son is getting the same opportunity. He is a bit luckier than his sister, because he’ll also get the chance to have an extra year in the 5-plus program!” -Jessica Watson and Zach Smith, CE
"We sent both of our daughters to Maiden Cove, and they had fantastic experiences there! The nurturing and highly skilled teachers are clearly passionate about the very important work they do. They facilitate a love of learning while providing ample time for free play, hands-on experiences, and making social connections with peers. Both girls are now thriving at elementary school, so I can only highly recommend Maiden Cove both for its program, and for its amazing and dedicated staff!"

"Maiden Cove has been the perfect foundation to prepare both of our children for kindergarten. Not only were they fully prepared academically, but also socially and emotionally. Our family has absolutely loved and respected all of the teachers at Maiden Cove; and we are forever grateful for the fun, respectful, and safe learning environment they create. Their learning standards are high, while balanced with the type of fun and creativity any parent would hope for their pre-school aged child." -Sandi Sinclair, Cape Elizabeth
"Our three kids went to Maiden Cove and all had wonderful experiences. Maiden Cove is a special place with its unique location by the ocean and its amazing, dedicated teachers!" -Jeremy and Amy Lombardo, Cape Elizabeth
"The experience our son Jack has had goes beyond words. He has grown as a boy a great deal since he joined Maiden Cove. The hands on day to day interaction with the loving and caring teachers is what really sets Maiden Cove apart from the other learning centers. The small group size atmosphere creates a nurturing and caring environment which allows the kids a chance to develop their own skills to carry them into the next step, which is Kindergarten. Jack is fully prepared for his next step and we can’t thank all of the staff enough for all that they do daily for our son." -Brett and Morgan Camplin, South Portland
"Our son began Maiden Cove summer program before he went on to the fall program to start his school year. He started the year interested, but apprehensive, about social interaction and tended to keep to himself. As he finishes his first year at Maiden Cove he is thriving, both socially and academically, because of the skill and intentions the teachers have for every unique child that comes in the door. The teachers at Maiden Cove take the time, and use their resources, to tap into what each child needs, with both respect and encouragement. We could not have asked for more!" -Tom Martin and Lucie Scholtz, Cape Elizabeth
