North Platte, Neb. -Communities for Kids North Platte sponsored an event, “Kids on the Bricks” on April 1st, 2023 to celebrate ‘The Week of the Young Child’. We will kick off the event with a free concert provided by The String Beans from 10:30-11:30 at Madison
Middle School. Then there will be a Downtown Scavenger Hunt from 1:00 p.m. -3:00 p.m. in downtown North Platte. Kids on the Bricks has reached over 200 children in providing children activities, which provided a positive social setting for families.
Communities for Kids is a state-wide initiative which supports young children, families and those providing their care. The Communities for Kids initiative is a multi-year planning and implementation initiative that was created in response to community
requests for assistance with shortages of high-quality early childhood care and education programs. These shortages impact children’s optimal development and also pose a challenge for communities hoping to attract and retain the viable workforce they need to thrive. Nebraska Children and Family Foundation has awarded the Communities for Kids North Platte grants in being able to support quality childcare in our community. Families First Partnership in North Platte, NE is also the fiscal agent for Communities for Kids North Platte.
Communities for Kids North Platte are currently open to partner with organizations and volunteers, who are passionate about investing in children and the economic growth of the North Platte community. Please contact Diane Livingston/C4K Coordinator at 308-660-2209 or email her at diane@4knp.org if you would like to learn more about this initiative and/or donate.
