The Penobscot Bay Medical Center Creative Learning and Childcare Center, serving employees of Pen Bay Healthcare as well as families in the community, has openings for children ages 2 ½ to 5.

"High-quality early care and education help lay the foundation for children’s success in school and in life," said Amy Boynton, the center director. "We have a comprehensive preschool curriculum encouraging children's development and learning in all areas and following the individual needs and interests of each child, all within a play-based program. At this age, children learn through hands-on, play-based activities."

All the center's teachers have or are in the process of earning a college degree or a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential for their work with young children. Many of the teachers have been with the center since its inception nearly 20 years ago.
