INTERGENERATIONAL DAYCARE PROGRAM
 
We have found at our sister facilities Gorham House and Clover Manor that the children's daycare is a meaningful addition to the quality of life of all our residents.
The children are here five days a week, year round. They become personally involved with residents in their play, sharing circle times, singing, parading through the halls and many other daily interactions. The special friendships that are formed set our preschool apart from the rest. It lifts patient's spirits and reminds them of their own children and grand children.
 
At Durgin Pines we have found that children bring a certain energy to the facility, the children and the elderly benefit by having an opportunity to interact.
  We pride ourselves on providing the highest quality licensed daycare with a superior nursery school experience for our sixteen children. We are open from 7:00am to 5:30pm five days a week. From 9:00am to 12:00pm we provide a preschool program . We offer full and part time care as well as the traditional "preschool only" program. With two full time teachers and a house full of grandparents we are truly the best place for children in Kittery.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Kids can be seen all over the building waving, singing and often eating pizza and ice cream! The residents' faces brighten when the children are around. Stories of their own children and personal childhood memories are sparked and shared. The children are taught about love and kindness as well as aging and illness.
