UNO Child Care Center Happenings: Announcements / Reminders
- The UNO Child Care Center will be closed on Friday, July 4, 2025, in observance of Independence Day. We will re-open on Monday, July 7, 2025, at 6:30 A.M. Thank you.
- It is time once again for you to complete the Federal Food Program Forms. These will be emailed out to you on July 1, 2025, and are due back by July 8, 2025. Hard copies will be available at the front desk. ALL families must have a current year on file and every family needs to complete the form annually.
- Please make sure you check your child’s summer schedule, as the groups continue to do a variety of
activities and field trips throughout the summer. - The children do play outside and will go for walks on campus. If the temperature is below 100 degrees, including heat index, children do play outside. If groups go for walks in the afternoon, they are back by 4 P.M. If you will be picking up your child before that time, please let the lead teacher know so that your child does not go on the walk. We also monitor air quality. If air quality is above 100 AQI, the children do not play outside until it drops below 100.
- Please let us know if your child(ren) will not be in attendance for the day. You can call the child care center at 402-554-3398 or email Dawn (dhove@unomaha.edu) or Monica (mdey@unomaha.edu) to let us know. This helps us preparing meals and staffing for the day.
- The UNO Child Care Center closes promptly at 5:30 P.M. Please make sure you pick up your child by 5:30 P.M. If you are late picking up, your account will be charged a $1.00 per minute starting at 5:31 P.M. Please make sure you are here on time. The staff thank you.
- If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Dawn at 402-554-4936 or by e-mail at dhove@unomaha.edu.
