Kirsten Hart

Professional Impact

Kirsten Hart discovered her passion for early childhood education after graduating from the University of Maine at Farmington in 2009. What began as a preschool position grew into a meaningful career in Head Start, where she is dedicated to supporting children and their families. Inspired in part by her father’s upbringing, Kirsten understands how important it is to provide resources and opportunities that help families thrive. She finds fulfillment in watching children gain confidence, develop new skills, and find their voices, while also seeing parents achieve milestones such as earning citizenship, graduating from school, or securing better employment. Kirsten is committed to serving the whole family, building connections with siblings and other teachers, and making sure families know support is available.

Personal Passions

Kirsten lives in Windham with her husband, Adam, their almost two-year-old son, Sonny, and their cat, Max. Her family enjoys exploring Maine and New England, especially attending summer concerts and introducing Sonny to a wide variety of music. Kirsten also enjoys making homemade greeting cards to celebrate holidays and special moments with family and friends.

Love for Androscoggin

Kirsten appreciates the family-friendly experiences and community connections throughout Lewiston-Auburn. Wallingford’s Fruit House is a favorite destination for family outings, while summer events such as outdoor movie nights and National Night Out offer opportunities to connect with neighbors. She also values local schools as important sources of information about community resources, activities, and events that help families feel connected and supported.
