Supporting Schools

Partnering with Schools to Give Children a Strong Start

We work side by side with local superintendents, principals, early childhood educators, and community partners to connect young children and their families with quality early care, education, and support from birth through the early elementary years.

How We Work with Schools

We offer tailored assistance, implementation guides, professional development, and more to school and community leaders across the country. Our signature programs are the Omaha metro-based Superintendents' Early Childhood Plan, and the national School as Hub approach.

The Superintendents’ Early Childhood Plan is a collaborative initiative of the 11 school districts of Douglas and Sarpy Counties in metro Omaha to develop early childhood programs for young children and families facing persistent economic and social disparities.

Superintendents' Early Childhood Plan

The School as Hub for Early Learning approach unites early childhood and elementary education into a seamless system centered on children’s learning and development.
