In light of recent Coronavirus developments in the state – and in the interest of keeping our community healthy – we have made the decision to operate the Kids First Center virtually at least through the Fall season. As the situation remains fluid, we will keep you informed as circumstances warrant. 
​
The Kids First Center is now offering most of its programming on-line in either a webinar or video conference format. Please view the CALENDAR below for a list of programs now available on-line as Web Workshops. Certificates of attendance required by a Maine court will be provided. Any in-person class or event that cannot be held virtually will be rescheduled. The Kids First Center will be contacting anyone already enrolled in an impacted program to make arrangements for participation in a virtual class or to reschedule you in an in-person class at a later date.

Thank you for your patience as we all work through this difficult time.
