Working at Pineview Learning Center has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. Every day brings new opportunities to make a positive impact on students’ lives, and the staff here truly care about the progress and well-being of each child.

The leadership team is supportive, approachable, and always willing to help. They provide clear communication and ongoing training that makes you feel confident and prepared in your role. My coworkers are dedicated, compassionate professionals who work together to create a safe and structured learning environment where students can thrive.

The work can be challenging at times—as with any behavioral school—but the sense of teamwork and the small victories you witness with students make it all worth it. Pineview genuinely values its employees and celebrates both student and staff success. 

If you’re passionate about helping kids reach their potential and want to be part of a caring, collaborative team, Pineview Learning Center is an excellent place to grow both personally and professionally. They also are very supportive and flexible if your plans require further schooling such a master's degree in mental health.

I have worked for MSS since 2009, progressing from an intern to a Director of Regulatory & Compliance. MSS's owner and management strongly believe in encouraging staff to grow in roles that suit them best. All sites are kid-friendly and feature state-of-the-art vocational services such as Building Trades, a half-court gymnasium, a greenhouse, Animal Husbandry programs, and more. The management and clinical teams are experienced staff who work collaboratively as educators and mental health providers. The line staff and teachers are patient and kind, coming to work every day ready to serve students with disabilities. The executive director organizes programs like Field Day, Spirit Week, and holiday-themed events to create a cohesive, celebratory environment of unity. If you love serving this student population and want to work with youth in these school communities, I highly recommend joining the MSS team.

I’ve been with Main School Solutions for a year and a half, and during that time I’ve grown tremendously both personally and professionally. This role has strengthened my communication skills, professionalism, and ability to effectively support children. The students I work with have taught me just as much as I’ve taught them—showing me how to look deeper into their needs so I can provide the best possible support.

I’ve also learned to manage stressful situations, not only at work but in my personal life, by practicing the same emotional regulation strategies we teach our students. The workplace culture here is supportive and collaborative. While there are many different personalities in this field, the strong emphasis on teamwork creates an environment where real progress can be made.

I’m proud to be part of Main School Solutions and excited to continue building my career here.

This line of work is not for everyone, but I have worked at CMLC for many years now and I really enjoy my job. I started as a BHP and eventually advanced to a full time teaching position. I have learned so much about special education and mental health since starting at CMLC and continue to learn more all the time. The workplace culture at CMLC is unique in getting to work with many different people from all walks of life and overall the staff is very supportive of one another and I have fun at work everyday. There is not a day at CMLC that I do not share laughs and jokes with my coworkers and that feeling of connection is hard to find these days. I find my job as a teacher challenging in a good way and even though there is a consistent routine/schedule, no two days are like and I appreciate the variety and opportunity to think on my feet. 

I spent time as both a BHP/Ed Tech III as well as a teacher for Maine School of Solutions. I received encouragement from staff and management to move up in positions, continue my education, and additional supports to do so. This is an environment for positive people looking to support their co-workers and the students. It's easy to make connections, build bonds, and enjoy the day to day if you're also aware that this is a job at the end of the day. I have enjoyed my time at CMLC specifically and would recommend this as a workplace to anyone who is looking to make an impact on student lives and can handle the pressures of student behaviors. My job as a teacher is rewarding and the staff and students at CMLC make that possible. 

I am grateful to be part of an organization dedicated to supporting children and their families in such a meaningful way. Our team works collaboratively to provide enriching learning experiences that foster not only academic growth, but also social and emotional development. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch our students build confidence, resilience, and the skills they need to be successful both in and outside of school.

The staff here are compassionate, hardworking, and deeply committed to making a positive impact. We’re fortunate to have an administration that truly supports our efforts, providing guidance, resources, and encouragement every step of the way. It’s a wonderful environment to grow professionally while making a real difference in the lives of children and families.

The ratio of student to staff is great. The higher ups are constantly look this over daily and move staff if need and also jump in to help. When needing assistance with behaviors staff and higher ups respond relatively fast. Clear explanation for staff and students is awesome. Feedback is given with grace and understanding. Most of the higher ups came from being a BHP so they understand the day to day ups and down. Everyone is receptive to new ideas or thoughts. Very inviting staff, positive energy and good vibes. I would recommend this job to any and all BHPs I've been at two other companies and this is the most supported I have felt. 

Working in human services can be both an exhausting and rewarding experience. At Pineview Learning Center there is a strong team oriented approach. This truly enhances the reward of caring for young children with complex backgrounds. Everyone at Pineview has been more than welcoming, the staff want you to succeed as much as they want the students to succeed! Leadership is approachable, they answer questions and offer support where they can. Overall since transitioning to Pineview I find my work life balance much more positive and the content of my work much more rewarding and successful! The built in breaks are also a huge bonus that give you something to look forward to!

My overall experience with Maine School Solutions has been enjoyable. I have been given the opportunity to grow and advance as I progress. Staff relationships have generally been positive. Watching the growth and graduation of students can be very rewarding. Although Maine School Solutions may struggle with overall communication, which is quite typical for many workplaces, they have an excellent open door policy with feedback, questions, or concerns. Ongoing education and training opportunities are offered regularly. As with many schools, resources are often a challenge, but has not taken away from my overall work experience.

There is a notable disconnect between administration and the direct-care staff, such as BHPs and teachers. Feedback and suggestions from those who work with the students daily are often not heard or implemented. The workload has steadily increased over the last several months. There is insufficient time allocated to meet all expectations, including attending clinical supervisions, teacher supervisions, and completing extensive DAP notes, which puts a significant strain on staff. However, the majority of coworkers are fantastic and genuinely dedicated to the students, supporting each other and working as a team.
