Our Education Philosophy
At Kids Roundup, we believe children learn best through play, exploration, connection, and consistency. Our philosophy blends developmentally appropriate practice with warm, personal care to create a learning environment where every child feels safe, curious, and confident.
​
We follow a whole-child approach, nurturing social-emotional, cognitive, language, and physical development through hands-on experiences. Children are encouraged to ask questions, try new things, engage their senses, and build independence at their own pace.
​
Our curriculum is rooted with Nebraska Early Learning Guidelines, enriched with creative activities, movement, and real-world experiences. We prioritize strong relationships and believe that learning happens best when children feel loved, supported, and understood.
​
At Kids Roundup, we value:
-
Play-based learning that sparks creativity and problem-solving
-
Consistency and structure that help children feel secure
-
Social-emotional development through modeling, connection, and communication
-
Individualized learning to meet each child where they are
-
Family partnership to support growth both at home and at school
-
Prepared environments that invite exploration and independence
-
​
Our goal is simple: to help children grow into curious, confident, kind humans who are excited to learn and ready for whatever comes next.

Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, play-based learning environment where children feel loved, supported, and excited to grow. We partner with families, follow developmentally appropriate practices, and create consistent, engaging classrooms that help every child thrive.


Our Story
Kids Roundup began with a simple belief: families deserve a childcare program where children feel loved, valued, and excited to learn every single day. What started as a small, family-run center in Gretna has grown into a warm, welcoming community for infants through preschoolers—yet we’ve never lost our personal touch.
​
As on-site local owners, we are deeply involved in the daily life of our classrooms. We know our families, we know our children, and we take pride in creating a place where parents feel supported and children feel at home.
Over the years, our program has expanded, our buildings have grown, and our curriculum has continued to evolve, but our mission has stayed the same: to provide high-quality care anchored in relationships, play-based learning, and trust.
​
With over 20 years serving Gretna, Kids Roundup continues to be a place where children discover who they are, build confidence, and fall in love with learning!
