Do parents have to stay on the premises?
The short answer is no. However, be advised that the Learning Center is only responsible for the safety of children in the classroom; parents or the children themselves are responsible at all other times. Classes may end before the scheduled time on occasion. Please instruct your children to remain in the classroom if you would like to pick them up. Unsupervised students should be able to follow the Learning Center’s policies.
Where do kids eat?
Wherever they can. We don’t have a cafeteria, but there is a Moms’ Room and tables in the lobby; many kids prefer to eat in hallway nooks with their friends. Students with full schedules may eat in class but please explain the situation to the teacher beforehand.
What do people do who aren’t in a class?
We have a Mom’s Room with a plethora of babies, toddlers, and mommies (and an occasional dad). It also has coffee, tea, and some toys.
We also have tables in the lobby for families, and when the weather is nice there is a playground for younger children. Older kids are free to study or socialize in any spot they can find, although most rooms are occupied so they are often found in groups in the hallways and other nooks.

Do we need to check in on the first day of classes?
Nope; just scoot your kids to their first class. We will have maps available, but you are responsible for your kids’ schedule of classes and your own volunteer schedule.
Do you ever cancel classes due to bad weather?
We generally follow the lead of the Omaha Public Schools.
Do you offer summer classes?
Not at this time. If we were to offer some workshops, they would be announced by email and text.
How can we cancel a class?
You will need to contact us. Please note cancellation fees. See details.
