I am so blessed to be part of the speaker lineup for this year’s Communities for Kids Thriving Conference, and even more blessed to represent Thayer County and our academy! 🌾🤍

This year’s sessions bring together people and organizations from all across Nebraska to share REAL, practical ideas for strengthening early childhood systems.

If you’re looking for new approaches, stronger community partnerships, or just want to connect with others in this work, come join us! Check out the speaker lineup, find the sessions that fit your goals, and get registered. I can't wait to learn alongside everyone and I can’t wait to present “More Than A Job, More Than The Hours”.

A great opportunity for the littlest patients! 🧸🩹🏥

Save the Date! We’re excited to once again host our Teddy Bear Clinic! We’re hoping to get this fun event in before the hustle and bustle of school activities really takes off!

This is a great opportunity for our young kiddos to become familiar with the hospital in a fun, welcoming way, so if they ever need to visit, it feels a little less scary and a lot more comfortable. Bring your little ones to receive a teddy bear, explore the hospital, learn about what happens here, and finish the evening with a sack dinner!

We can’t wait to see our community’s littlest patients and make some happy hospital memories together!

Stay tuned for more details!

✨As another summer season comes to a close, saying goodbye to our seasonal team is always bittersweet! ✨

We are beyond grateful for Ms. Rae, from her dedicated after school help to her assistance all summer long. She’s always been willing to jump in wherever we needed her most, and watching her grow, step into her confidence, and truly find her voice has been amazing to watch! 🩵💚🧡

Join us in thanking Ms. Rae for everything, leave her some love in the comments, and check out what she had to share below! 👇

“I loved working at TKA during the summer because every day with these kids was different, and they are all so unique. It was amazing watching them grow throughout the summer, and it felt great welcoming so many new faces into our classrooms!”

Good luck, Ms Raegan! We love you and we know you’re going to move mountains along the way! ✨

✨ It’s not goodbye, it’s see you soon! ✨

As summer winds down, saying goodbye to our seasonal team is always bittersweet! We are so grateful when staff return to us year after year, and watching Ms. Jae grow over the past few seasons has been such an honor. 🤍🫶🏻

Check out what Ms. Jae had to say about her time with us below! 👇

“This summer was my third summer working at TKA, and every year it becomes even more special. One of my favorite things has been watching TKA continue to grow, but what means the most to me is seeing the growth in each child throughout the summer. Watching them gain confidence, and make new friends is so rewarding.

The people are what truly make TKA feel like home. I've been blessed with coworkers who have become like family, and I'm so thankful to be part of such a great team. It's such a special place to spend my summers, and I'm grateful to be a small part of making memories that these kids will carry with them for years to come. 🧡🩵💚”

Good luck, Ms Jae! We love you! ✨
