Mission and VisionEducare is...

A Partnership between the private and public sectors to create a high quality, birth-to-five program that achieves higher levels of quality.

•a partnership between the school district, community-based agencies, and private philanthropists.
•a partnership bound by contract committing to joint governance, and long-term support.
•a partnership with a vision to better prepare disadvantaged children to succeed in school and in life.

A Place that nurtures early learning, is a beacon of hope for the community, and sends a firm message that we must invest in the early childhood – because children are born learning.

A Program to prepare young at-risk children for school by implementing the approaches and practices that science tells us are necessary to help young children grow up safe, healthy and eager to learn.

A Platform for change with each Educare center serving as a “showroom for quality” and a catalyst to drive broader policy and systems change at the state level and nationally.

The Buffet Early Childhood Fund built the second Educare center in Omaha, and then partnered with Ounce of Prevention to create the nationwide Bounce Learning Network of Educare Centers.
