EDUCATORS
Quality early childhood education is one of the most important
services in a child's life. It serves as a major contributor to healthy
and strong brain development, and supports development of the skills
necessary to prepare children for school success. KidSquad respects
and supports all early childhood educators who dedicate their
professional lives to enriching the lives of our community's children.
KidSquad is a FREE service, available to any childcare center, preschool, Head Start or Pre-K program or childcare family home in Douglas or Sarpy County that accepts Title XX (federally subsidized) payment for childcare services. The reasons a program director or teacher/educator may want to refer to KidSquad include:
- Supporting children who are struggling with challenging behaviors and may be at risk for expulsion;
