Maine Points: The Children’s Center

The Children’s Center (TCC) was founded in 1978 by a group of students and faculty at Westbrook College, and the preschool grew into a lab school for the College’s education degree program. In 2000, the University of New England (UNE) purchased Westbrook College and closed its childhood program. Rather than close The Children’s Center, a group of dedicated parents worked with the University to preserve it as a private school.

Danny speaks to George Shaler, Board VP. Board member since 2004 about the programs and The 8th Annual Touch-a-Truck on Saturday May 18th!
