What we do
Community Children's Center seeks to bridge the gap in high-quality accessible, affordable and available child care and education in Douglas County.
Community Children's Center offers a Community Closet for infants through five-year-olds and maternity wear. We also provide Family support specialists who can meet with you wherever is best for you and access parenting information and events through our TYKES Douglas County online resource hub.
We know it takes a lot to provide high-quality care, particularly for infants and toddlers. Our Provider Support program offers education, resources, and support to help early childhood care providers elevate their quality of care and provide trauma-informed care for families and caregivers.
Early Childhood care is more than a building; though it can start with one. We are developing a state-of-the-art Early Childhood Children's Community Center at 346 Maine with seven classrooms for 0-5 years old, with caregivers dedicated to high-quality, trauma-informed care around the clock.
