CREC River Street Autism Program and Early Learning Center

A huge shoutout to our Teacher Of The Year nominee! Laurie is an outstanding member of the River Street Autism Program community. She is kind, patient, and always has the students' best interests at heart. The staff and students agree, Laurie is the best! Congrats on your nomination, Laurie! Thanks for all you do! 🎉🐝

The Birken Art Show 2026 was so good, it could have been held at the Musée du Louvre! This year, however, was bittersweet, as it is our most talented art teacher, Mrs. Lopardo's last hurrah. As we prepare our countdown to her retirement, we want to thank Claudia and everyone who made this event so special for our families!

A huge shoutout to Greg, Jess, and the team at The Green Machine Nursery & Landscaping for facilitating our donation from the Coast of Maine Organic Products, Inc.! We're so excited to get growing. Thank you!

The students and staff had an absolute blast at our Survivor-themed field day, where we were challenged to outwit, outplay, and outlast!! We had hidden immunity idols, exciting obstacles, daring water games, and a next-level face painting. Nobody was voted off Birken Island!! 🔥🐝
