Jane Brennan
Director/Teacher

Jane Brennan has over forty years working in the early care and education field in family child care, center-based care, and public pre-kindergarten. After completing her graduate degree, she worked on two Early Learning Opportunity Grants as an Early Literacy Specialist. Working in that capacity, she was able to combine her two loves: young children and books. She conducted various literacy training for parents and childcare providers. Other activities included creating Literacy Bags, 76 different themes which have several books and activities for parents and providers to use with their children.

As well as having experience writing college course curriculum, Jane assisted in the writing of the Promoting Cooperative Preschool Play-Bullying Prevention for Caregivers curriculum. She has also facilitated many of the other Maine Roads to Quality curriculum and elective training for countless child care providers.

"I look forward to working with you and your child for a fun-filled year of wonder and growth".
