Ketcha Outdoors is a year-round charitable non-profit organization serving the southern Maine community with programs in youth development, family enrichment, and summer day camping. We strive to get children, youth and families outdoors on our 107 acres of meadows, forests, streams, and wetlands to appreciate what nature has to offer.

Preschool Openings

Our nature-based preschool has several openings for Fall enrollment. Monday - Thursday 8:30-noon.

From September through May, our students are active in the outdoors learning while playing, hiking, gardening, and visiting the animals at the farm. Play-based learning is fostered with blocks of time for our students to immerse in our many natural settings.
