As April comes to a close, so does our 30 for 30 Campaign—and we are feeling so much gratitude. 💛

To everyone who shared a story, attended an event, donated, volunteered, or simply cheered us on… thank you. You showed up for Coastal Kids in ways that remind us just how special this community truly is.

For 30 years, Coastal Kids Preschool has been a place where children of all incomes and abilities are welcomed, nurtured, and given the strong start they deserve. That work continues because of you.

If you’ve been thinking about joining the campaign, there’s still time. One simple way to make a lasting impact is by becoming a 30 for 30 supporter—giving $30 a month to help sustain this incredible community resource for years to come.

Every contribution, big or small, helps ensure that Coastal Kids remains a place where children can grow, families feel supported, and our community stays strong.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for being part of this journey. 💛

Messy hands. Busy minds.

Did you know - Sensory play is more than fun! It’s how young children explore, regulate, create, and learn. It supports everything from language to emotional development, all while building confidence and curiosity.

At CKP, we make space for this kind of learning every day 💛

Governor Janet Mills visited a child care center in Brunswick on Wednesday to ceremonially sign the Apple Act, which will expand Maine's free school meals program.

The law provides almost $900,000 allocated from the general fund for a grant program to supply students in off-site public preschool programs with breakfast, lunch, and a snack.

Laura Larson, executive director at Family Focus Early Learning Center, said this bill will save her almost $15,000 a year to feed her 36 Pre-K students lunch.
