Dovetail Preschool

We have had a wonderful experience with Dovetail! Our son has benefited so much from his kind and talented teachers, as well as a curriculum which focuses on independent play, lots of time outdoors, and age-appropriate learning. As parents, we also really appreciate how clean and safe the school classrooms and playground are, the sense of community with other Dovetail families, and the monthly special enrichment experiences like visits from the Maine Audubon, yoga and music classes, and more. We're so glad we found Dovetail!

Our family joined Dovetail in the fall and so grateful we were able join! Rita was so thoughtful during our search and when issues came up. We really appreciate it. All of the staff have been wonderful through this transition for our kids. It’s been a great experience so far. Looking forward to watching our kids continue to grow and flourish at Dovetail.

Dovetail has been a beacon of light for our family! Rita, the school’s director, has always been accommodating in supporting our two sons through their early childhood experiences. The school excels at parent involvement and encourages parents to volunteer their talents. Additionally, the school gives opportunities for social connection, such as the recent pot luck and performances with the Theater Project. We are happy to be a part of the Dovetail family.

This is our third year at Dovetail and we wouldn't think of going anywhere else! The teachers are so caring and truly work to get to know the unique needs of each child. The staff is responsive and communicative and we feel lucky to be part of the Dovetail community!

We absolutely ADORE Dovetail! Can't recommend this loving and enriching daycare enough. Have had kids in both the Jr. Preschool and Preschool. Both rooms were full of fun, joy and engaging learning. The teachers and director make our child feel so seen and heard each day. Dovetail has strong communication throughout the week and they use brightwheel to keep us posted on what the kids are learning about. Dovetail does a fantastic job at building community in each room. The kids seem to really feel connected to and supported by one another! They also do really special enrichment activities throughout the year like brining in a Yoga teacher and putting on special theater performances. We feel really lucky to have found Dovetail! Highly, highly recommend!

Our daughter has loved her time at Dovetail. The staff are so genuine, caring, and responsive. They really get to know the children well and engage them in fun learning and play every single day. It’s a very special place!

My son has gone to Dovetail for 2 years and loves it. The teachers are all very attentive and patient with the kids. Could not be happier with the program.
