Across the country, states are making intentional investments in child care because they recognize it as essential to workforce participation, economic competitiveness, and thriving families and communities. Nebraska has an opportunity to lead.
On Monday, August 24, at a launch lunch we will introduce a new statewide campaign designed to bring together business leaders, community organizations, providers, parents, educators, chambers of commerce, nonprofits, and civic leaders around a shared vision for child care in Nebraska.
This event will unveil the details of the campaign, while inviting organizations from across the state to help build a movement focused on strengthening Nebraska through affordable, quality child care.
If you believe Nebraska's future depends on strong families, a competitive workforce, thriving businesses, and vibrant communities, we hope you'll join us.
