The Gorham Schools "Little Rams Early Childhood Project" is conducting a survey of parents of children ages birth to 6 to try and better understand the need for child care and early learning in the community of Gorham.

The Little Rams Early Childhood Project is a powerful partnership of schools, child care programs, educators, parents, businesses, and local organizations and leaders from the community of Gorham. We engage the community in prioritizing our youngest children with a focus on early learning, nurturing care, and healthy development ages birth - age 5.

Our vision is that ALL children and families in Gorham have access to quality early learning experiences that promote healthy development and school/community readiness.

Data collected from this survey, and others will assist us in creating a vision for early childhood learning ages birth - 5 within the community of Gorham.
