"Our son, then age 3, started with the Learning Loft in the fall of 2018 and will be returning for his second year in September. From the moment we toured the school, we knew we’d found the perfect fit for our shy and reserved toddler. He was welcomed with such warmth by his lovely teachers and came home everyday with the biggest smile on his face. We watched him make giant strides throughout the year; with the support and encouragement of the staff, he progressed not only in his speech but also in his ability to engage with his new friends and classmates. The Learning Loft is a special place full of special people who have treated our son like he’s one of their own, a true family-run preschool that has felt like a home-away-from-home for our little guy. We are so happy with our decision to send our son there. "

"We started last year not only new to Learning Loft, but new to Maine. I knew this was the perfect place for our family when almost the ENTIRE class took time to come to Evelynn’s birthday party two weeks in to the school year even though we’d barely met. Friendships were quickly created between not only the kids, but the parents as well. We have loved being part of the Learning Loft family. The growth in learning is only a small part of it all. The teachers cultivate kindness and respect amongst peers while constantly encouraging play and developing each child's imagination and creativity. I am so thankful to have found such a wonderful place where both of my girls feel safe, loved, and encouraged to be themselves."

"We absolutely loved The Learning Loft. I really appreciated the hands on and laid back approach they had for teaching because it really cultivated a love for learning in our daughter and she looked forward to going every day. Ms. Danielle is a wealth of knowledge and really understands growth and development unlike other preschool teachers I have known. The teachers were always easy to communicate with and I always felt like they were tuned into each child and their individual needs. They provide a really fun and safe environment where kids can grow, discover and learn in a way that is developmentally appropriate and will help prepare them for their future; not only teaching them the basics but also focusing on social skills and communication. After graduating from The Learning Loft our daughter met kindergarten expectations 3 months into her kindergarten year! We love love love The Learning Loft!"

"Leaning Loft, where to even begin? This special little school is truly magical for children. Its nestled in the woods with chicken coops and beautiful gardens. My daughters and I have seen deer and fox crossing the long driveway during drop off times. Each teacher feels like an extension of our family and we are super grateful for all that they do for our daughter. Everyday she comes home with new artwork and songs to share with us. If your child has the opportunity to become a student there it's a wonderful experience they will carry with them for a long time to come!"

"The Learning Loft Preschool provided a wonderfully nurturing environment for my children. Their teachers are dedicated, creative and patient educators that provide a welcoming environment for little minds to explore the world around them. This preschool truly felt like home to my children."

"My wife and I normally have differing opinions and different ways we form those opinions. I knew we had found the right pre-school for our children when BOTH my wife and I liked what the Learning Loft had to offer. From the warm, friendly, experienced, down-to-earth staff, to the nurturing but educational curriculum, we felt it was a great pre-school. Now that our 5 year old has completed his 2nd year at the Learning Loft, and is well prepared to be moving on to Kindergarten this fall, we are confident in also sending our 3 year old for his first year at the Learning Loft this fall."
"The Learning Loft Pre-School was great for our son. Being his first experience away from the care of family we felt very comfortable with everything and everyone involved with the Learning Loft. He was clearly in very good hands, as his teachers were very welcoming and thoughtful. He always enjoyed his time at pre-school and came back to us happy each day, and the progress he showed throughout the year learning and growing was remarkable!"

“Our 3 turning 4 year old was a little shy and nervous to start preschool, but she brightened so quickly in the loving, warm environment that we found at The Learning Loft! Danielle and staff are so dedicated to providing a nurturing and positive preschool experience. I would highly recommend The Learning Loft to any family with preschool age children.”
