Engaging with Nebraskans
Access to quality, affordable child care and early learning is essential to keeping Nebraska a great place to live, work, and raise a family. Nebraskans know their communities best, so we partner with people across the state to share information and help communities build the early care and education solutions they need to thrive.
Two of the Institute's major outreach and engagement efforts include the We Care for Kids/Por todos los niños campaign and the Thriving Children, Families, and Communities Conference.
We Care for Kids/Por todos los niños
The Buffett Institute coordinates We Care for Kids/Por todos los niños—a collaborative statewide campaign to build support for quality early childhood education for all Nebraska families and to raise awareness concerning the important role of early childhood educators in ensuring that children, families, and communities thrive.
Thriving Children, Families, and Communities Conference
The Institute collaborates with early childhood partners and state agencies to facilitate the Thriving Children, Families, and Communities Conference, which is held annually in Kearney, Nebraska. Launched in 2018, this conference is a place where community leaders and elected officials from education, economic development, child care, business, government, health care, philanthropy and more can connect, share success stories and solutions, and highlight the importance of implementing quality birth–Grade 3 care and education.
