About Kids First Inc
Kids First Inc. gives Lincoln families a place where infant, toddler, preschool, and school-age care are all part of the same steady picture. It also offers transportation to and from Eastridge Elementary School, along with subsidy support for families who need help with fees. For donors, that means support can help a center that is built around practical care and accessible help for children and families in the community.
What sets Kids First apart is how many stages of childhood it serves under one roof, including full-time care for infants as young as 6 weeks, a year-round school-age program, and transportation to and from Eastridge Elementary School. It also makes room for families who need tuition assistance or Title XX subsidized childcare, which helps keep care within reach.
