Foundations Nebraska Information

Foundations Progressive Learning Center is a forward-thinking, play-based learning environment for children, where students engage in natural, creative, and active learning. Our students learn with a balance of working one-on-one with teachers, cooperatively in small groups, and independently with practical life skills. While we do prepare children for school, our curriculum is focused on exploring life-long skills. We incorporate self-help and independence skills, such as buttoning and zipping clothing, tying shoes, pouring and serving our own beverages and food, picking up after ourselves, conflict resolution, socialization, and learning healthy emotional management. Foundations' teachers operate on the knowledge that children need to find and identify interests through uninhibited, free, and dynamic play in order to build strong connections with the world around them. Our programming is developed by childcare specialists to lead by example that it is possible to provide an honest, ethical, and functional play-based childcare center for our community that works to do right by the children we teach, the families we serve, and the teachers we employ. We're a family, and our environment is like a home. Our children and "play-workers" (teachers) have equal reign over the space and are trusted as competent individuals. #LetKidsBeKids is our motto, and we live by it. At Foundations, children do what science says children are supposed to: play. The learning that happens along the way is a nice plus. See below to learn more about our program!
