Educare Lincoln Company

Educare Lincoln is a state-of-the-art, full-day, year-round school designed to serve approximately 200 children from birth to five years of age who are at risk of failure in school. Building on the program foundations of Early Head Start and Head Start, Educare promotes school readiness by implementing effective programming aimed at preventing the achievement gap from taking root in the early years. Educare Lincoln is one of 21 Educare Schools coast-to-coast that make up the national Educare Learning Network, which serves as a platform for broader change—inspiring high-quality programs in communities, improving public policies within each state, and demonstrating a comprehensive approach to the first five years of life and learning. Educare Lincoln is one of four Educare Schools in the state, and is grounded in a unique partnership between the Lincoln Public Schools, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the Nebraska University Foundation, Community Action Partnership of Lincoln and Lancaster Counties, and the Buffett Early Childhood Fund – all who share joint commitment to and accountability for the success of the Educare Lincoln school.
