Play-based programs for 6 weeks to 12 years following Nebraska Early Learning Guidelines — where every child discovers the joy of learning!
At Lollipop Patch, we follow the proven learn through play model — because active, child-initiated experiences build stronger cognitive, social, and emotional foundations than passive instruction. Every classroom is intentionally designed to spark curiosity and build lasting confidence.
Our Infant Care Program provides a safe, warm, loving environment that carefully stimulates each baby's growth. Low caregiver ratios ensure personalized attention and individual scheduling in close partnership with parents.
We nurture eating skills, emotional regulation, expressive language, and early social skills through weekly theme curriculum. Varied learning areas inspire imagination, relationship building, and joyful guided play.
We widen vocabulary, introduce multi-step directions, and build pre-literacy foundations. Children begin recognizing shapes, colors, letters, and numbers in a rich, preschool-inspired environment.
Our Kindergarten Readiness program builds early reading and writing, deepens math understanding, and strengthens emotional, social, and technological skills children will carry confidently into kindergarten.
Before/after school care Monday–Friday for grades K–6, plus full-day summer programming. Breakfast daily, afternoon snacks, and full meals when school is not in session.

Our daughter has attended Lollipop Patch since she was just eight weeks old. We toured multiple early childhood education centers and Lollipop Patch simply had everything we were looking for. Every morning she is excited to go — she comes home with artwork, participates in wonderful activities, and is happy, learning, and so well cared for every single day.
Our daughter loves her teachers in the infant room — she smiles so big every morning. Every staff member has wonderful stories about her day. She receives outstanding one-on-one attention that teaches her things she might never experience at home. I strongly recommend Lollipop Patch to any Omaha parent.
Our daughter loves Destiny and so do we. She is extraordinarily attentive and consistently supports all our requests as our daughter grows. The infant room is always filled with creative activities — from squeezing pudding and popping bubbles to making art with tiny hands and feet. Always learning joyfully.
Our daughter was born 15 weeks premature. Moving her to Lollipop Patch was a revelation — within weeks, we saw dramatic improvement in her speech, physical, and cognitive abilities. Today you'd never know she was born premature. Lollipop Patch gave us true peace of mind every single day.
After just 8 months, my son counts to 30 in Spanish, 100 in English, and recognizes all his letters by sight and sound. We are amazed every day. The staff is unfailingly warm — they make every family feel like they truly belong to something special here in Omaha.
On the drive to school I heard my son singing the ABCs in the backseat — and I hadn't taught him yet! He now counts to 25, knows numbers in Spanish, and writes letters himself. The learning that happens at Lollipop Patch every day is truly remarkable.
