Today we celebrated a very special milestone — Preschool Graduation! 🎓✨

We are so proud of all our little graduates and the incredible growth we’ve witnessed this year. From learning letters and numbers to building friendships and confidence, each child has blossomed in such beautiful ways. We can’t wait to see all the amazing things God has planned for their future! 💛

“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” — Proverbs 22:6

Congratulations to our preschool graduates! 🎉

‼️High quality matters in Nebraska‼️

Voices for Children in Nebraska's annual Kids Count in Nebraska Report is a fascinating research document, which includes dozens of pages about the wellbeing of children in our state. Topics like parents in the workforce, early childhood education, health, juvenile justice and more are covered in great detail. It’s worth noting that more parents are in the workforce in Nebraska than the national average, and the percentage continues to increase over the years. High quality early childhood education matters more than ever in our state.

Child care centers often enroll more children but can be less common across the state than family child care homes. While also sometimes more expensive than family child care homes, the benefits of larger child care centers can make the extra expense worth it for some families.
