PRESCHOOL OPENINGS FALL 2026

Established in 1986, Cape Care is a Town of Cape Elizabeth child care program licensed by the Maine DHHS for children aged 3 to 12. Located in the Community Center, we offer a safe, stimulating environment. We collaborate with parents to meet each child’s needs and build lasting family relationships.
Our preschool for three-year-olds focuses on age-appropriate development through monthly academic themes, weekly letter focuses, and social skills. Children enjoy multidisciplinary activities including arts, science, and music. The curriculum builds math and motor skills, featuring seasonal swim or music and movement lessons.
Preschoolers are exempt from the annual enrollment lottery and are grandfathered directly into the Public Pre-K program.
