Lab School & Learning Hub

Educare Central Maine’s Lab School and Learning Hub were created to help solve a problem and fill a need. Maine, like the rest of the country, is currently facing a shortage of early childhood professionals. Trained childhood professionals offering quality early care and education provide support to:

Children: High quality learning environments in domains of children’s learning, health and development

Families: Positive parenting skills, goal-setting, family services, and employment supports

Communities: Current (staff and parents) and future (children) workforce stability

Early Educators: Skilled teachers and providers across multiple educational settings

Both the Lab School and the Learning Hub will influence early care and education and help to create a stronger workforce to support Maine’s children.
