As time continues to pass us by during the COVID-19 Pandemic; Willard Community Center continues to provide as much "normalcy" as possible for the kids in our community.
Kids need routine! Quarantine and all the restrictions that have been put into play has tampered with what our school kids are custom to. School is out, but learning is not. LPS and the teaching staff are doing such an amazing job Zooming with their classrooms, and providing weekly school work and schedules for the kids to keep learning and growing.
Willard Community Center is here to help keep that structure. Not only are we striving to keep the kids working on their chromebooks and Wonder accounts, but we have amazing qualified staff, who have planned additional curricular activities to provide your children with a full daily schedule!
Willard has openings in all age groups starting at Preschool & Pre-K and all they way up to the 8th grade. If you find that your children work best in a school setting, or you are having difficult time "doing it all", give Willard Community Center a call. Things will get easier, and we are here to help!
Due to COVID-19 and the restrictions surrounding the disease, Willard Community Center will be postponing this years Golf Tournament. The new date is set for Sunday, September 20, 2020. We apologize for the inconvenience during this time, and wish everyone stays healthy! Registration information will be available soon!
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many families are able to to do their jobs at home, while also being able to care for their kids. Willard Community Center understands that is not possible for all families. With schools shut down, Willard strives to continue to offer full-time care to the families that are in need of a safe place for their kids to come and learn. Our administration and staff have been hard at work to provide children with educational enrichment on a daily basis; to include a full daily schedule that consists of journaling, art, physical education, science, social studies, math and time to complete assignments provided by Lincoln Public Schools on their chromebooks and Wonder accounts.
During this unfortunate time, we find ourselves missing the children that we would normally be caring for. In an effort to reach out to those families that we are not in direct contact with on a daily basis, we want you to know that your children are in our thoughts every day. Anthony Wade, a Willard Community Center employee, thought it would be a great idea to put together a brief video to show that even though we are apart, we are still together. The children, and our hard working staff did such a fantastic job making a heart felt poster to express their compassion during hard times.
If you find that you are in need of child care or know of a family in search of child care, Willard Community Center currently has openings. We would love to extend our support to those essential workers and their children. We have available spots in Preschool & Pre-k, all the way up to 5th grade. Please call Willard Community Center to find out more about our program, and the policies and procedures that are being followed to ensure your children's health and safety.
The coronavirus has caused financial impact to millions of Americans. The good news is there is help available. If you find yourself in financial hardship, reach out immediately to your mortgage lender, student loan servicer or utility provider to see what options are available for your situation. Other assistance, such as stimulus checks or unemployment benefits, may take more time. The bottom line is that you need to take action to seek certain forms of relief. Please refer to the Lincoln Journal Star article: A guide to surviving financially as bills come due for more helpful information.

Willard Community Center has been putting in great efforts into the Step Up To Quality accreditation program. We were recently recognized in the Lincoln Journal Star for the good job our staff have done implementing new practices, and learning 'The Creative Curriculum' we just started new this fall.
The Step up to Quality process provides us with resources to create and build a better quality preschool and pre-k. We already have amazing staff, who show a strenuous amount of dedication and determination in their everyday work. We thought; why not be recognized for the great work they already do.
Step up to Quality is a process that provides our program with great resources such as: coaching and guidance, professional development and training, incentives and financial support.
We cannot wait to continue through the process and reach our goal rating. For more information on Step Up to Quality, please visit the website below. For a great read into our programs participation in Step Up to Quality; the link to the article written by: Nancy Hicks, and published in the Lincoln Journal Star is also available.
