"Each and every one of you has touched the lives of our children in a special way. Children behave as they are treated, and it's clear that ours are treated very well." - O.B. "As a mother and educator, I can really appreciate the quality of care, nurturing and guidance that Emily has received from KidsFirst during the past four years. I'm so impressed with her language skills in English and Spanish! And to think she is so competent on the computer is just terrific, you're all so great! I don't know what I'd do without you." - C.R.

⭐️ LEADERS BEHIND THE LEARNING ⭐️

Meet Miss Hannah! ✨

“Hi, everyone! I’m brand new to the KidsFirst team and so happy to be here working alongside such a strong team of teachers and staff!

I have 8 years of experience in early childhood education, primarily as a Preschool/Pre-K teacher. While those ages hold a special place in my heart, I have experience with and truly appreciate all age groups! I am currently working toward my CDA for Preschool and Pre-K while also working on obtaining my real estate license. One of my favorite things about working with children is being a source of warmth, comfort and consistency everyday. When children know what to expect, they are more likely to feel safe, confident and succeed in the classroom. Helping children learn, grow and discover who they are is incredibly rewarding to me. Beyond academics, I love helping children learn kindness, empathy and what it means to be a good friend and a good person. To me, being a great teacher also means building connections with the children in my care and the families who trust me with them!

When I’m not at work, I am a loving mom, partner and proud fur mama. I have a beautiful son named Levi who is my whole world and I love spending time with him exploring and seeing new places together! I am very creative and enjoy photography, painting & drawing, scrapbooking and planning fun parties and events!

I’m so grateful for this new opportunity and look forward to making meaningful memories, celebrating special milestones (both big & small) and building lasting relationships along the way! 🧡”

🍎🍂 A little taste of fall, made from scratch! From following step-by-step instructions to practicing turn-taking and teamwork, our little learners got to experience the joy of creating something all their own. ❤️

We believe some of the best learning happens hands-on, and there’s nothing sweeter than seeing the pride on their faces when they get to enjoy the fruits (or applesauce!) of their labor. 🥰🍎

Meet Miss Deidre! 🌸

“Hi! My name is Deidre, and I have been teaching preschool for over 20 years! Before joining the Kids First family six years ago, I spent 16 years working at another childcare center before moving to Brunswick and starting a new chapter in my teaching journey. I have a certificate in Early Childhood Education as well as my Child Development Associate (CDA) credential in Preschool.

One of my favorite things about working with young children is watching them learn, grow, and experience new things for the first time. Seeing the joy, excitement, and pride on their faces when they discover something new is truly priceless! Every day brings something different, and while some days can be challenging, those moments are also what makes me love my job even more. I feel so lucky to be part of each child’s learning journey and to help create a classroom where they feel safe, loved, and excited to learn.

When I’m not in the classroom, you can usually find me spending time in my garden, making homemade pickles, or camping with my family. I have two boys, ages 13 and 11, and we have been camping together since they were babies! Spending time outdoors and making memories with my family is something I truly enjoy. I look forward to another wonderful year of learning, exploring, creating, and making special memories with all my little learners!” ❤️

Fire Safety Month and play-based learning are a genuinely good match — and October's timing makes that even more true. Children this age learn safety skills the same way they learn everything else: through movement, imagination, and coming back to an idea more than once. This carousel walks through what that looks like inside a play-based preschool classroom. Swipe through, then read the full blog on our website for the full picture.

Did you know that telling a preschooler a safety rule once during circle time is usually not enough for it to stick? According to NAEYC's Teaching Young Children, fire safety education works best when it is embedded in concrete, hands-on experiences tied to community helpers children can already recognize. Play-based classrooms build those experiences into the whole month — through sorting activities, story time, and imaginative play — so children encounter the ideas in more than one way. Read the full blog on our website to see what that looks like week by week in October.

“It’s just a job…”

The truth is, it’s never just a job. It’s wiping tears, celebrating milestones, sharing belly laughs, and building bonds that feel like family. On the toughest days, one hug from a child reminds us exactly why we’re here.

They may not know it, but these little moments make it all worth it. 🫶🏼

One of the biggest misconceptions about early childhood education is that children are “just playing.”

The truth is? Play is the curriculum! ☀️

Every toy, activity, and learning center is intentionally designed to build skills that support academic success, independence, self-confidence, and everyday life skills.

Because learning to zip your coat, clean up after yourself, solve a problem, and work with others is just as important as learning your ABCs. ❤️

10/01/2026

October is one of the most naturally curious months in a preschool classroom. Children are already drawn to fire trucks, gear, and the question of what firefighters actually do — which makes Fire Safety Month a genuinely good teaching window. In a play-based classroom, practicing stop, drop, and roll through movement and dramatic play gives children time to return to the skill, try it again, and make it familiar. That kind of repetition is what helps a four-year-old hold onto new information. Read the full blog on our website to see how October fire safety learning comes together in play-based classrooms.

Meet Miss Geri!

“With over 10 years of experience in childcare and an Associate of Arts degree, I have dedicated my career to nurturing and supporting children at every stage of development. I’ve had the opportunity to work with all age groups and spent two years as a center director.
Before entering childcare, I also worked with individuals with developmental disabilities, which strengthened my patience, understanding, and passion for helping others thrive.

Beyond my career, my greatest pride and joy is my family. I am a mom of four and a proud Gigi to nine amazing grandchildren and 1 on the way—they are truly the heart of everything I do. My husband and I have been together for 25 years, building a life and family that we are incredibly proud of.

At home, we are true animal lovers, caring for a lively mix of chickens, ducks, cats, a ferret, 3 dogs, and an iguana, all alongside a peaceful koi pond in our backyard. But no matter how busy life gets, what I cherish most is having my entire family together—those moments mean everything to me.”
