There is an African tribe who greets one another by asking, "Are the children well?" in place of, "How are you?"

They are aware that their community's challenges will only multiply if they do not ensure quality care and resources for their children. Here in the United States of America, childcare is amongst one of the hardest-hit industries of the pandemic, and unfortunately, we are still seeing those effects. Educare Lincoln's "Beyond the Walls" initiative (consisting of partner early-care centers, including Educare Lincoln, Kids Imagination Station, and Northeast Family Center) is asking for your votes to maintain quality care, family engagement, and parental supports for Lincoln's workforce.

Our local economy depends on our services. We are asking for your support in upgrading unkempt property and doubling down on critical services so that we can continue to provide quality care and supports to the children and families who need us most.
