Learning Community Center of North Omaha

The Learning Community Center of North Omaha acts as a nexus, to serve the community near North 24th Street in Omaha, Nebraska in a variety of ways and connecting several learning programs in one opportune location. The west wing of the center includes two early childhood development learning classrooms. The south wing of the center includes three classrooms, one of which is used for early childhood instruction for those seeking degrees in Early Education. The other two classrooms provide learning opportunities for parents through continuing education, and are also utilized by several area colleges and universities who offer onsite classes. An observation room at the core of the classrooms features digital audio and video capture of young users, allowing participants to interact with the instructors as part of the onsite Early Education degree program. A central connector houses the indoor play center for children in the Educare program, as well as a multipurpose/conference room that is used by community groups. The entry reception space is designed to maintain specific traffic flow so that students of education courses will not interfere with children heading to the early learning classrooms.
