The purposes of the child care center are to support families and to provide quality programming. To accomplish these ends, the PAC2 Center provides a safe, consistent and enriched environment where developmentally appropriate activities encourage exploration and learning through “hands on” experiences.
The PAC2 Center provides children with a caring, safe and secure environment that utilizes a child-centered curriculum. This type of curriculum is based on the emotional, physical, social and cognitive needs of the individual child. The developmental needs of the child are used to determine appropriate activities carried out with that child. Because children grow and develop at different rates, this approach offers them the opportunity to explore each area of development at their own pace.
The staff of the Center creates an atmosphere of support and affection as well as provides the materials, equipment and experience required to optimize the experiences of each child. They also serve as examples to the children, since children learn as much by observing others as they do by direct instruction. The teaching staff act as facilitators rather than the directors of activities.
The goals of the child care center are:
At PAC2, your children are joining one of the highest quality child care programs in our community that will enrich them throughout their childhood. With dedicated staff that love and care for your children, a clean and updated facility, and a "Step up to Quality" rating of 10 by the Nebraska Department of Education, you can be sure that your children will grow and thrive in our care.

The preschool years are important foundation years in a child’s life. It is our goal as teachers to help each child grow spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually. We look forward to working together as a team, with you the parent, and the teachers, to have this be a positive experience for your child.
Planning ahead? Newborn waiting lists are available. Those on the waiting list will be contacted in order of registration as space becomes available with priority given to the following:
The rooms at PAC2 are broken up by ages. In order to maintain ratio, our max capacity in the Infant 1 room is 12 babies and they age out of the room at 8 months (typically). Due to this, we design the waiting list around the children’s birth dates. We only accept 2 babies with the same birth month, at a time.
If you would like to be put on our waiting list, please reach out to us as soon as possible at 402-462-5333. The wait list is confidential and your information will not be shared.
PAC2 has a "Step up to Quality" rating of 5 by the Nebraska Department of Education to ensure you that your children will grow and thrive in our care!
If any of these holidays fall on Saturday or Sunday, then the center will be closed the Friday or Monday before or after the holiday.
