Child Care Can

Child Care Can is a statewide Nebraska initiative focused on strengthening access to affordable, quality child care. It brings together families, child care providers, businesses, community leaders, educators, and organizations around the belief that child care is essential to the state’s future and competitiveness. The initiative highlights how quality early learning can benefit children while helping parents participate in the workforce, businesses grow, providers thrive, and communities become stronger.

Child Care Can works to build a statewide movement and advance practical solutions that expand access to affordable, quality child care across Nebraska. Its website introduces the initiative, explains its story and purpose, and shares information about coalition members and how others can join. It also provides resources, news, frequently asked questions, and opportunities to take action or contact the organization. By connecting people and organizations around a shared goal, Child Care Can aims to help Nebraska attract and retain families, workers, and businesses. Its central message is that when child care works, Nebraska thrives.
