The idea for Harborside Child Care was born at Harbor Beach on a perfect day in July. Erica was enjoying the beach with her sons and talking to her friends about balancing work schedules and school schedules, when one of her friends suggested she open a daycare.

By the time the tide was high, the conversation shifted from, “what if” to “what the daycare could be".”

After several conversations, hours of research and trainings, Erica is a licensed child care provider for the State of Maine. Harborside Child Care officially opened its doors December 2nd 2024.
