About Us

Business Hours: Monday - Friday 6:00 am to 6:00 pm

Over 30 years experience, means we are here to stay!  We are proud to be caring for second generations of our families.  Their repeated trust and loyalty are our biggest compliment.

Established in 1978, we remain one of Omaha's top rated childcare centers.  We believe maintaining high standards and consistent staffing is essential to providing the best possible care.  Your child will learn from familiar faces, which creates continuity of care and an overall better learning environment.  Studies have shown that when a child can relate to the same teacher on a daily basis, learning is enhanced.  Our staff quickly becomes familiar with your child and his/her individual needs.

We at Children's Express believe that caring comes from the top; we treat each staff member as if they were our own family with loyalty, respect and caring being the center of our focus.  Setting the standard with these characteristics provides excellent examples to our children and staff.

Having been in the Omaha area for over 30 years, we have developed strong relationships with our surrounding school districts and the community.  These relationships with local elementary schools that your children attend, assures you that your children will be better prepared for their educational future and allows them an easy transition into a teaching system they are accustomed to.

Philosophy

At Children's Express Childcare and Learning Center you'll find experienced, well-trained teachers and stimulating activities where your child will be exposed to numbers, letters, and shapes.  More importantly, they learn how to socialize, they make friends and learn to share and contribute.  Your children will enter kindergarten with better pre-reading skills, richer vocabularies and stronger basic math and science skills.

Our program teaches kids how to be students.  Your child will learn how to raise his/her hand, take turns, and share the teacher's attention.  Furthermore, he/she will learn how to separate from mommy or daddy!  All of this makes for an easier transition to kindergarten.  Kindergarten teachers will tell you that the students that are ready to learn are those who come into school with good social and behavioral skills.

Children's Express provides a place where your child can gain a sense of self, explore, play with his/her peers and build confidence.  Kids in preschool discover that they are capable and can do things for themselves from small tasks to tackling bigger issues; like making decisions about how to spend their free time.

The skills a child learns at the early stages provide the foundation for all other skills that will be learned throughout life.

Trained and experienced Preschool Teachers are crucial to a successful preschool experience.  For many children, preschool colors the way they will forever look at school; it is this first experience which will foster a lifelong love of learning and an overall sense of comfort and achievement within the preschool environment.  Our Teachers will often take basic concepts and incorporate them into play.  Children at this age learn through play concepts that incorporate all of their senses.  While they are having fun and practicing essential social concepts such as being respectful of each other, taking turns, etc., they are unaware that they are even absorbing educational concepts.  Our teachers are able to engage each child and offer lessons through these playful avenues.  The most important qualification for preschool teachers is the ability to instill a joy of learning that stays with their young students for a lifetime!

Experience

Ownership makes a difference.  Being part of a childcare owned by a teacher and a nurse provides opportunities that simply can't be found in other childcare centers.

To start, teachers understand the importance of preparing your child for success in elementary education and are skilled in the art of finding the best way for children to learn.  They understand that children learn differently and are able to focus on each child's individual needs.

Teachers are preparing your child in many ways, by teaching them academic, social and physical skills.  Learning through play and providing the ability to interact with children of many ages better prepares your children to handle the multiple challenges that they will face throughout life.

Pediatric nurses are trained to monitor and encourage childhood development.  Attaining academic and physical milestones is of key importance in becoming successful young adults.  By monitoring your children we will be able to keep you informed of daily progress and tailor your child's learning and overall development to their individual needs.  As a parent you can enjoy the assurance and safety of knowing your children are in the care of an actual heathcare provider

Early Learning Program

The All-Aboard program for learning empowers children to become confident, successful, lifelong learners. We help children approach school and academics with skills, confidence, and a drive for excellence. We challenge children at all ages with developmentally appropriate programs based on skill levels.

The Children's Express "All Aboard" curriculum is organized into theme based centers that address topics which encourage children to develop their skills and confidence.  Each center incorporates language, math, science, creative arts, music, motor skills and social development.
