LINCOLN – Going to school as a parent can be difficult if there is no one to care for your children.
Provided in this article, are three day care and child development facilities, all within two miles of the Southeast Community College Lincoln main campus.
The first is Young Voices Child Development Center. This facility is located at 8040 O St., about one mile away from campus.
For a full-time child, up to 50 hours per week, the weekly rate would be about $160 to $190 depending on the age of the child. Transportation for school aged children is included in these rates.
Young Voices services children age six weeks up to 12 years, and they are open from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m.
Their summer program consists of numerous field trips. They plan to visit Mahoney State Park and tour a news station. Other summer activities include going to the movies and the spray park, skating and bowling.
