About Us

Family Focus is a non-profit organization licensed by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services. Its two Early Learning Centers are accessible, engaging, state-of-the-art facilities. Both centers are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Creative Curriculum® is used in the infant, toddler and preschool classrooms.

Family Focus is committed to serving a widely diverse population in universal settings with support and education for all of its families. A Family Support Worker (Parent Program) is available to meet with families and offer individual assistance as needed.

Family Focus receives funding through the United Way of Mid Coast Maine which helps support its infant and toddler programs. Family Focus also has a contract with the Maine Department of Health and Human Services which subsidizes fees for income eligible families.

Family Focus Early Learning Centers participate in the USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program. This ensures that meals served to children in the centers follow a Healthy Diet emphasizing fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products; includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts; and is low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars.

Family Focus embraces parents as their child’s first teachers. Communication with parents is ongoing and parent involvement with the centers is encouraged.
