Nebraska Dance Carnival for a Cause Benefitting CRCC

Saturday, May 2, 11 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.

Concordia High School (15656 Fort St, Omaha, NE 68116)

For 25 years, Nebraska Dance has partnered with organizations across Omaha to uplift incredible work in our community. This year, we’re honored they’ve selected CRCC as their partner as we celebrate 35 years of serving local families!

This free family fun day will feature performances by the ND program dancers, food, face painting, carnival games, and more! There will be a special performance by CRCC kids on stage at 2 p.m., and we would love for you to join us to cheer them on! 

We’re celebrating some of the very best starting next week! 💛

Teacher Appreciation Week (May 4-8) and Nurse Appreciation Week (May 6-12) are coming together at CRCC, and we’re taking the time to recognize the incredible people who bring our mission to life every single day. From classrooms to care spaces, our teachers and nurses show up with skill, compassion and heart—creating an environment where children can truly thrive.

If sleep has been a challenge in your home,
this is a space to find support, simple strategies,
and a path toward more restful nights—for everyone.

Tuesday, May 5 at 6 p.m. (via Zoom)

Join Connected Roots Care Center (CRCC) and Brett Kuhn, Ph.D., CBSM, DBSM from the Children’s Sleep Disorders Center–Omaha at MMI, as we explore common sleep challenges in young children and practical strategies families can use to build healthy sleep routines. Learn simple, research-based approaches that can help children—and their caregivers—get the rest they need.

This session is open to the entire community! Unlike typical Rooted in Resilience sessions, this will not be recorded.

Northwest Renovation Milestone

We are thrilled to share that we have officially reached the halfway point of our Northwest Center renovation! Thanks to your flexibility and support, we are currently on schedule, with over 50% of the project complete.

Since construction began in December, we have transformed five classrooms, the Plaza, the Library, and the Snoozle rooms. These updates include new cabinetry, dimmable LED lighting to better support our children’s sensory needs, and rubberized flooring in the Plaza for safer play. As we move into the final phases, our focus shifts to the remaining four classrooms and a redesigned nursing station to better serve our children with complex medical needs.

We are incredibly grateful to our partners at JE Dunn and Holland Basham Architects for helping us maintain a safe environment while we remain on track for a September completion.

Thank you for your continued partnership and for trusting us with your children as we invest in the future of CRCC. If you have any questions regarding this closure or the renovation progress, please do not hesitate to reach out.
