To educate, engage, and inspire children through early childhood care and out-of-school experiences.

Originally founded in 1908 as the Social Settlement Association of Omaha, in 2009 we changed our name to Kids Can Community Center to better reflect our vision for children and families in our community. Today, our five locations promote a nurturing and safe learning environment encouraging long-lasting, positive relationships. We are a state-licensed childcare provider for children ages infant to 13-years old, offering full-day early childhood education and out-of-school programs. We participate in Nebraska’s Step Up To Quality to ensure we provide high-impact programming for our youngest children. We are the afterschool provider at Nelson Mandela Elementary School and through our partnership with Collective For Youth, provide programming at Wakonda, Gilder, Minne Lusa, Conestoga and Miller Park Elementary Schools. Our mentoring program is accredited through our MENTOR Nebraska Partnership.
