Welcome to the Here Wee Grow Child Development Center

Choosing your childcare provider is a difficult decision to make. Thank you for entrusting us with the care of your children. We will make every effort to provide the best possible experience for your family.

Mission/Philosophy

Our philosophy at Here Wee Grow Child Development Center is to provide quality care for your child in a positive, educational environment. This includes helping children learn lessons that will last throughout their lives. Lessons like cooperation, sharing, self-confidence, respect for others, respect for nature and science, and joy. We realize that each child is unique and has different needs and interests and our goal is to provide a developmentally appropriate learning environment that best meets the needs of each individual child. Here Wee Grow Child Development Center is licensed by the state of Nebraska and is inspected regularly to ensure that we meet health, safety and other state requirements. Each member of our staff will meet the qualifications set by state laws and complete the recommended training hours. Each member of our staff is required to be CPR certified, First Aid Certified, and Choking Certified with many working on or having completed their CDA (Child Development Associate Certificate). We've designed programs that feature developmentally appropriate and fun activities where children will develop socially, emotionally, intellectually and physically. Children will learn by doing, making experiences both fun and educational.

Enrollment vs. Instructor Ratio

Creating a healthy and safe environment for children to grow and discover relies primarily upon the childcare provider. We employ staff skilled in working with young children and encourage continuing education to update skills and ideas. We also meet and/or exceed licensing standards for child to staff ratios at all times. The primary teachers for your child's age group will work with you regarding any concerns you have about your child or the center. Our staff are required to be CPR certified, First Aid Certified, and Choking Certified with many working on or having completed their CDA (Child Development Associate Certificate). Additional training is also required throughout the year.

The following graph explains what the current Child Care Center Standards are within the State of Nebraska for staff-child ratios.
