ACADEMICS / CHILD CARE
Hundreds of licensed childcare centers including preschools combine with an even greater number of licensed home childcare providers to provide a full range of options for all-day or before and after-school child care. The Nebraska Department of Health & Human Services provides a wealth of child-care information on the Internet, while the Midwest Child Care Association offers up-to-date information on providers throughout Nebraska. Parents in Iowa will find equally rich resources for information and referral:
