Welcome, Omaha Families
Your Neighborhood Child Care Where Children Learn, Play, and Feel Right at Home
A Place Built for Growing Up Well
At A Step Ahead Omaha, choosing a childcare center is about finding a second home for your child, a place where they feel safe, cherished, and inspired. As a family-owned center, we have built our foundation on a simple promise: to provide the same level of care, support, and dedication that we would want for our own children. From the first drop-off to the last hug at pick-up, A Step Ahead Omaha is built around calm routines, kind guidance, and playful learning. With flexible options like full-time, part-time, and seasonal care, we’re here to support your family every step of the way.
Your Child’s Everyday Place to Belong
Where Your Child Feels Safe, Supported, and Celebrated Every Step of the Way.
Step inside our Omaha center, and you’ll feel the difference: cozy, organized rooms, centers for building, art, dramatic play, quiet reading, and welcoming faces that know your child’s rhythms. Teachers model gentle independence and problem-solving, and turn little wins into big confidence. Outside, children run, climb, and collaborate in safe play spaces designed for movement and teamwork. We take security seriously, with controlled entry and attentive supervision; all staff are trained in First Aid and CPR. But most importantly, every child feels genuinely seen, celebrated for who they are, and passionately cheered on as they grow.
Care That Fits Real Schedules
Open 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with full-time, part-time, summer, and school break options.
Omaha families juggle a lot, so we keep care dependable and flexible. Choose consistent full-time routines or select a few days that match your workweek. Our summer and holiday programs keep learning lively when school pauses, with projects, outdoor time, and just-right themes. Communication stays clear and kind, daily notes in the parent app, quick answers when needed, and longer conversations anytime. We accept Title XX and walk families through enrollment, tuition, and any available discounts, so getting started feels simple.
Omaha Roots, Bright Futures
Caring teachers, family partnership, and habits that last beyond the classroom
We are more than just a daycare; we are a community dedicated to fostering your child’s growth from their first steps to their school-age adventures. Teachers learn each child’s interests and stretch them with small-group work that builds pre-reading, early math, and curious “why?” thinking, without losing the joy. Daily jobs, tidy-up routines, and “try again” moments nurture responsibility and perseverance. Families are invited to join special events or volunteer, helping children shine in front of their favorite audience. Together, teachers, families, and friends create a circle of support where children feel capable, included, and ready for whatever comes next.
