Maiden Cove Update (1/20/25)
Maiden Cove Children's Center has been part of the fabric of Cape Elizabeth since 1982. We have been privileged to be a part of hundreds of families' educational journeys and honored to have fostered a love of learning for the children who have attended our programs. We hope you will be part of our story as we operate the school for two more school years.
"After 45 wonderful years of serving as a trusted and cherished preschool in our community, Maiden Cove Children’s Center will be closing its doors at the end of the 2026-2027 school year. This decision was not made lightly, as I recognize the deep impact our preschool has had on countless children and families over the years.
For nearly half a century, I have directed and owned a place where young minds have flourished, friendships have blossomed, and lifelong memories have been made. Our preschool has stood as a beacon of early childhood education, shaping the lives of children in ways that we are all incredibly proud of. Many of you, like so many before you, have entrusted us with your most precious gift—your children—and I am profoundly grateful for that trust." -Sandy Farris (Owner of Maiden Cove)
