Schools in Lincoln, NE

“All three of my children have attended Knowledge Beginnings, and we’ve had such a wonderful experience. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the director, Chris, is always communicative, welcoming, and genuinely kind. We’ve loved every teacher we’ve had—they truly make me feel at ease knowing my children are in such great hands.

This facility is clean, safe, and filled with beautiful natural light in every room, which I really appreciate. Most importantly, all of my kids have thrived here. I’m so grateful we found such a nurturing and supportive environment for them. I highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for quality care.”

“This is truly the best school in the country! It is the school we all wish existed when we were kids.

Acton Academy offers a unique, community-driven approach to education. One of the most impressive aspects is the level of involvement from both parents and guides, which clearly contributes to the students’ growth and success.

It’s not just a traditional drop-off school—learning extends beyond the classroom into daily habits, responsibility, and independence. The environment encourages accountability, critical thinking, and real-world skills at an early age.”

“Staff is wonderful and so helpful. From safety to education and emotional support for parents, we couldn't be more satisfied. Our little one has been with them for 5 years and we would've been lost without everyone from Merry Manor. They have become a part of our family!”

“We have only been with this daycare for about a month, but I can confidently say it has been an incredible experience. My son has special needs, including autism and a G-tube, and finding childcare that feels both capable and genuinely caring can be challenging. From day one, the owners and teachers have gone above and beyond to make him feel welcomed, safe, and loved.

The staff are professional, patient, and eager to learn how to best support his unique needs. What has impressed me most is that they don't just care for him—they truly care about him. They celebrate his successes, communicate well with our family, and treat him with the same love and attention they give every child.

If you are looking for a daycare with exceptional staff, strong leadership, and a genuinely nurturing environment, I cannot recommend them highly enough. They have given our family tremendous peace of mind, and we are so grateful to be part of their community.”

“We have had a wonderful experience with The Pines! The experienced teachers are so kind and have created such a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment for students to thrive. Our son is excited to go to preschool and we have seen so much academic, emotional, and social growth in the past year! We would highly recommend The Pines to anyone looking for a well-rounded preschool!”

“Primrose School of Lincoln at Wilderness Hills will always be a special place for our family! When we moved to Lincoln, finding a nurturing childcare with good curriculum was very important. We were happy to hear that there was a Primrose since our daughter was previously at one in Ohio. After the tour, we knew it was the place for our children. Our daughter started in the Pre-K classroom and our son started in the Toddler room. The amount of love, care, and education our children received was top tier. Walking through the halls it seems like every teacher is excited to see your child. Our children were always excited to go there and upset on days we picked up early. The family events they plan are so fun and special. The Summer Camp is absolutely amazing and filled with activities. I’m so thankful for Betsy Tonniges, Shelby Schelbitzki, and Jennifer Tran. Thank you for making us feel like a part of the Primrose family. We will miss you all so much!”

“We have been sending our son here for six months. He has spent most of his time in the infant room and we could not be leaving him in better hands. Ms. Rachel, Ms. Lacy, and the KinderCare staff are amazing caregivers. Each day they have different neurodevelopmental arts and activities which they memorialize in photos or handmade crafts. I highly recommend KinderCare on Pioneers.”

“My son previously had went to daycare. He HATED it. We wouldn’t even have to pull into the parking lot and he would start sobbing. At Hug a Bunch Baylor is so much different. He is so excited to come. When we get to daycare he runs up to the door screaming. We get home each night and he’s talking about his “friends” he has made at daycare. As a mom knowing my child is this excited about daycare after previously hating it makes me feel extremely good. The teachers at Hug a Bunch are so gentle and they truly love each of these kids so so much. Thank you everyone there for taking such good care of my son. You guys rock!”

“I cannot stress this enough: this team is simply the best. Linda and Jonathan or truly a power couple. I run the Nebraska National Guard’s Yellow Ribbon Program, often times I require mobile child care for troops heading out on deployments and coming home from them.

These two have come in clutch. They bring in appropriate amounts of staff to handle the number of children that require care. The kids are active annd engaged all day until it’s nap time. Honestly, kinda jealous. I wish the army had nap time.

I am so grateful for them.”

“We have absolutely loved our experience at La Petite! As a first-time mom, going back to work after maternity leave was heartbreaking. I was so nervous to leave my little babies (we have twins!) and wondered if I’d ever feel comfortable trusting anyone else with them. But it didn’t take long for all of us to settle in.

The boys adjusted right away I could instantly see how much they enjoyed being around other babies, exploring, playing, and trying new things. Their teachers have been amazing with them, and they’ve helped me adjust just as much as the boys. As a first-time mom, I’ve really appreciated the support, helpful tips, and reassurance they’ve shared along the way.

I love getting pictures throughout the day and being able to pop in on the cameras to see what the boys are up to. It’s clear the teachers truly care about them, and they’ve become an extension of our family. We’re so grateful for everything they do.”

“They have a very understanding staff and it is a clean, comfortable environment for the kiddos. It’s great social interaction and gives young children the tips and tricks they need before going to school! Highly recommend!”

“Our 1 year old has been going here for 6 months now, went from infant room to recently moving to the toddler room. All the teachers in both rooms have been wonderful, they give me tons of updates, and I get tons of pictures in the app throughout the day. I highly recommend this for a center on the west side of town.”

“Little Learners is a great preschool. The staff and teachers are all wonderful and caring people. Our boys love it and look forward to preschool days. We love their flexible scheduling and the amazing education the students receive. We are blessed to have found Little Learners Preschool.”

“Best daycare in town!!! Miss Chris has been here for years and still remembers everyone who’s walked through those doors! I am very protective of my children but never felt better dropping them off here while I worked! You won’t find a more loving and caring staff around!”

“We had an amazing experience at CLC before our family moved out of state! I was so nervous to put my little guy in daycare at 12 weeks old when I went back to work, but the director did a great job of making me feel secure as a parent leaving him there. All of the infant room staff were so sweet and I felt like they really loved and cared for my baby. They sent several pictures a week of him having fun and he was always happy at drop off and pick up. They were great communicators and always reminded us when supplies were low. I wish we could’ve taken CLC with us when we moved! Highly recommend.”

“Kidzone is our favorite center! We have gone both the in-home and center care route (sadly, had to try a few bad centers). Kidzone has everything you need, great staff that has been around for years, prompt communication, a sense of family, and a good curriculum!”

“I love that this center is now locally owned, so much better than corporate care! I love that the director and assistant director are present for staff and families. Working in child care is often a thankless job, so thankful these teachers are here and taking such amazing care of the children!”

“CEDARS does so much for kids and families. They are incredibly passionate about their mission and care deeply about helping vulnerable children in this community and strengthening families.”

“When I was first seeking daycare I was nervous as this location was small and I could not find much in terms of reviews. I am so glad that I gave them a shot as they have far exceeded my every expectation! We enrolled our infant here for almost a year and we have been nothing but happy with Adventure Academy Site 1. The teacher's are all very kind and genuinely care about my little one. I love getting photos throughout the day via the new app, developmental updates from the teachers during pickup/drop off. They've also been so great at teaching my little one new skills such as feeding themselves table food, giving themselves a bottle, etc. I can tell my little one has learned and grown significantly in their time here. I highly recommend this location for anyone seeking a quality daycare full of some of the hardest working and most caring individuals!”

“Our daughter Elowyn went to the UNL children’s center since she was 8 weeks- 18 months old. We were in nursery 1, nursery 2 and then yellow pre-toddler. Ella absolutely thrived here. Every teacher she had was phenomenal and cared deeply for our girl. We knew she was in the very best hands! They took so many photos, did fun activities and were always quick to call and inform parents if an incident happened. The only reason we left was because we moved to a different state. It was heartbreaking to move to a new daycare. I can’t recommend this daycare highly enough! The staff truly care about each kiddo and give them so much love! ❤️”

“A church who has the most upmost respect for all their flock. St. John's has such great and wonderful priests who are always friendly and has such touching sermons that is full of truth! Being part of St. John's church is a blessing and wonderfu gift from God. I can't imagine being anywhere else. Love my Church Family. Thank you St. John's for being an amazing place to worship and partake in Jesus true body and blood in Holy Communion!”

“Our kids have been attending North Creek for about 1.5 years and I am extremely pleased with the caring staff, the curriculum, the food and administration. They offer an app with written updates, photos and videos every day! Our previously child care center left a lot to be desired and my kids protested being dropped off — now they love going to North Creek because thy are engaged, busy, active and making friends.”
