My son started preschool here and has special needs. He absolutely loves it and gets excited every…read moremorning when we pull in to drop him off. He has a staff member who is with him all day who he knows and knows his needs. I am extremely happy with the care he receives at this facility and can tell everyone who works here enjoys what they do. I'm happy and I know he is! They provide him with PT, OT and speech that he needs but there are lots of activities they provide and fun activities for him. Keep up the good work guys!!

The Little School in Fryeburg has changed our lives! Our daughter who hadn't slept all night for 5…read moreyears began sleeping through the night after just 2 months following the curative education approach employed by the Little School. Ms. Olga is a remarkable teacher that brings her belief in each child's own greatness into reality. We've been extremely grateful as we've witnessed our child that had difficulties with friends and staying on tasks, blossom into the wonderful person she is and is now capable of completing handwork projects, being respectful, and completing tasks. The curative program based on the Waldorf curriculum has been life-saving for our family. I would highly recommend the Little School in Fryeburg if your child needs any additional help.

This establishment charges way to much and dosen't care about the families or children. Most of the…read morestaff are amazing but the office administrator and director as well as the board of trustees, cannot be trusted. They are located right night to heroin alley and you risk being assaulted using the parking lot of a ticket picking up your kids. You will only be treated fairly if they can bill the state for your the primary amount of your bill. Camilia Babson Hayley has helped run this establishment into the ground and personally had a dozen or more staff members leave due to her lack of leadership. They have also been investigated for abuse and neglect in the past and recently where they had to call on themselves. That's a sad state of affairs.

Youth & Family Outreach (YFO) is a wonderful day care. From our first day here I was comfortable…read morewith the staff and the leadership. Friends recommended YFO to us, so we put our infant on the waiting list, hoping to get in before our child was 2 -- the wait list can be long, and there are several factors that play into getting a spot (age, special needs, etc.). To our surprise we were off the waitlist after just a couple months - things aligned and there happen to be a couple openings in the infant room. We have gotten to know the director and staff in the infant and they are all wonderful, and most important, they treat our child with love, respect and care. YFO also has a great food program, partnering with several local farms and providers. They garden in the summer months, too. They can even provide formula, if it is what your child uses. Also - there is a 'therapy room' at YFO where children can receive services, if needed. We are excited to keep our kiddo at YFO through preschool - YFO has collaborated with the Portland Public School system to create the first community-based public pre-k classroom in the district. A wonderful option for kids, parents and our community. Leaving your child at day care can be hard - but it becomes a lot easier when you trust in the care completely! YFO is a glowing example of what child care should be like!
