Country Swim School

All four of our children go or have gone here. They are all proficient, confident swimmers. If you want your child to learn how to swim, this is the place to go! I highly recommend it!

Best swim school in the Lincoln area. ☺️

Highly recommend! Our kids were struggling to swim and scared of the water until we found Country Swim. They teach the kids to work hard and we have loved every minute here!

Great place to do lessons. The staff/teachers are knowledgeable and patient. I highly recommend this place.

Best place for swimming lessons! The instructors are amazing and kiddo loves it!

Swimtastic Swim School - Lincoln

My daughter's swim skills and confidence has improved so much in the last 8 months. The teachers are very patient with the kids and take notice of strengths and weaknesses and work with them on those weaknesses, but also celebrate accomplishments. We love Swimtastic!

For parents considering enrolling their children in swim lessons, I wish to provide an important advisory. Regrettably, my child was unable to attend due to illness, and, upon engaging with customer service, it was clarified that the institution does not offer makeup classes or provide compensation or credit for missed sessions. It is important to note that financial responsibility remains, even in cases where a doctor's note is furnished for any class absences. I believe it is essential to raise awareness among parents contemplating enrollment in this institution.

We have nothing but positive things to say about Swimtastic. Teachers are patient while pushing the swimmers to improve. My ONLY complaints are:
1.  They seem to have a high turnover, but I don’t think that’s a testimony to the company per se, I think that’s just common with the demographic. Most of their instructors are very young, late teens-early twenties.
1.  They have Beginner 1,2, & 3, and Intermediate 1,2,&3, but no Advanced classes. My daughters teacher tells us she’s her strongest swimmer and she’s at the Intermediate 3 level. She’s only 9, so not ready to swim in school sports and she’s not ready for competition yet. I just wish they had more for advanced young swimmers.

I absolutely love the generosity provided around the building. All associates of Swimtastic appear to be knowledgeable and friendly. My daughter's swim instructor (Lisa) was wonderful and very personable. I love how she carries herself, and how she appears to genuinely cares about the youth, and how important it is to take swimming lessons as a young child. The very next week, we had arrived for lesson number 2, and my daughter saw Lisa and went straight to her and gave her a hug. Major props to Lisa and the swim instructors at Swimtastic. I definitely recommend!

Very clean facility. Wonderful enthusiastic knowledgeable instructors. Been going 2 years and my daughter loves it there.

Update for 2 years later: I used Swimtastic for my oldest and loved how well they taught her. She now joins the recreational in the summer. It was a no-brainer where I was going to go for Margaret as she loves watching sissy at competitions and practices. Margaret loved her first lesson and was super comfortable with the instructor. I know she'll thrive just like her sister in this environment.

Elite Learning Academy & Preschool

Our daughter has been going here for almost a year now. I was really nervous because I only had exposure to daycares at my Air Force bases, which had been a great experience. However, they have blown every prior daycare we have been at out. of. the. water! The staff/teachers are phenomenal. I seriously can’t say enough good things. Our daughter looks forward to going every single morning and then talks non-stop of her friends and teachers when she gets home. There is great constant communication through the Brightwheels app (something bases don’t have). There are always amazing activities for the kids (pony rides, petting zoo, water days, Santa, the Easter bunny, etc) with plenty of pictures to see while we are at work missing our girl. She comes home everyday with new songs, words, and art work. Elite is safe, secure, fun! We both have very high stress jobs and I’m so so so grateful to have found Elite because knowing our daughter is happy and taken care of is such a relief while we are working or TDY.

There aren’t enough stars on here for what Elite deserves. Putting your child in a daycare is scary enough and coming here i felt 1000% comfortable. The facility, the teachers, and the curriculum are absolutely amazing. My son has been going here since the day they opened and I couldn’t ask for a better place to send him. My daughter will be starting there next month and I’m not in the least bit worried. Thank you all for everything you do for my son! He truly loves Elite!

My family loves this center. It is very clean and organized. The teachers are amazing and my daughter has had the same teachers the whole time she’s been there which is important to us. She can’t have dairy and they’re very particular to not give her any. She has so many opportunities like field trips, swim lessons, monthly book orders, sports, etc. We are moving 35 minutes away and still will keep our children here because having a safe, loving environment is worth an hour and a half drive everyday. 😊

There are not enough words to express how truly grateful I am for Elite Learning Academy and Preschool. Not only is it a center I 100% trust, they continue to exceed my expectations each and every day. On top of the center being impeccably clean and extremely organized, it’s obvious the teachers truly love what they do and love the children even more. There is never a doubt in my mind that my baby is safe, happy and receiving all the attention she needs—she completely lights up as soon as she walks into the building and is always so happy to see everyone. My family absolutely loves this place and all the amazing teachers that work here—and the many, many photos they send us of our baby throughout the week :)

If you’re looking for an amazing daycare, I promise; you will NOT be disappointed if you enroll your children at Elite!

My girls have gone to Elite since they first started daycare 2 years ago at 3 months old. All of us love Elite. Great teachers and great staff. My girls have learned so much, love going to school everyday, & I know they are truly loved by everyone at Elite. I couldn't have found a better daycare for my family.

Kiddie Academy of Gretna

We love the positive atmosphere, how much our daughter is love and cared for by every teacher. She has blossomed in her personality so much. Her speech has improved drastically in 3 short months. We couldn’t be more pleased to be apart of the Kiddie Academy family!

Kiddie Academy of Elkhorn

I cannot attest to the actual childcare at this facility and I assume it must be phenomenal because it is impossible to get in here. I put my son on the waitlist right when we found out we were pregnant. I didn’t need childcare until he was 4 months old (so later than most families) and they said they couldn’t guarantee a spot at that time but could most likely for a few months later. Then I followed up just recently and now they reported they don’t have a spot for him until he will be over 1 year old. I understand prioritizing internal families but I’m not sure how any new family could possibly get in. I also feel like even internal families should be required to notify them of their needs with a new child at a reasonable point (12 weeks of pregnancy) so the rest of us aren’t being strung along. If you are a new family and looking for infant care just move on and find another center.

Mu husband and I are relocating here from California, and I was hoping to enroll my son into this facility. I understand that there is a wait list, but neither Courtney nor Ashley was very helpful in suggesting other places to take my child. They were not even knowledgeable about other facilities around the town of Elkhorn.. unfortunately, even if they had room, I don't think we would send my son there after being treated with disrespect.

We transferred from a different daycare that we were not satisfied with at all. Our son has thrived here the past few years and the teachers and staff are all amazing. We cannot be more thankful to have a place we trust and a wonderful curriculum.

Kiddie Academy takes a hands on approach to individualizing to each students needs within a classroom setting. Our core classroom teachers were great with our child and really helped them open up and thrive. When we speak to our friends with kids at other centers, it’s always a clear reminder why we chose Kiddie Academy. The Director at our center, Jessica, was very hands on and extremely knowledgeable in her field. She is a wonderful asset to Kiddie Acadamy.

We have been super happy with our experience since transitioning our son to KA less than a year ago. He just turned two and has already learned how to count from 1-10, his ABCs, colors, and shapes. We can tell that they really work hard with the kids and teach them different things throughout the year. Every day he’s coming home and surprising us with having learned something new. He also LOVES going there and even asks to go to “school” on the weekends to see his friends.

Kiddy Kollege Child Care Center

Our baby girl has been here a few months, since she was able as an infant, now still only 8 mo old. She’s happy to see the caretakers, she plays with a lot of items when we see her, she develops her skills as she’s there since we notice she does more movements when she’s home, the other kids there enjoy time with her so she sees a lot of other kids. The pricing is fair, and you got basically 12 hour access 6a to 6p which is cool. Very flexible. They have a nice online system if you want to keep track of the kiddo every now and again at the place. See their feed/sleep times too. No complaints.

They’re the best! My son loves his teachers and enjoys playing with his friends. We also love the app they use to send us updates all day.

My son started attending 6 months ago. We have noticed in those 6 months how much he has learned academically. They work with all of the kids with patience and kindness. We love the staff and plan on attending for the years to come. We are so grateful to have found a place our son enjoys going everyday.

Our daughter has been here fulltime for 2 years and it has been amazing! She loves her teachers and friends so much and always says she has fun days at daycare! They are amazing people that really care about the kids

Kiddy Kollege is an great day care. My kiddos have been at the Tyler and Country Acres locations both. Erika is wonderful, she has such a good heart and you can tell she really loves the kids. The director of Country Acres, Melissa, is absolutely amazing. I feel like she goes above and beyond to help us and has excellent communication with me! She has been in this field for a long time and it shows in the excellent customer services she provides and in the care she takes of the kids.  All of the teaches, at both centers, are very sweet and do such a good job with the kids. My kids are always happy to go and they have a good time when they are there. I appreciate taking them to a center I can trust, that has teaches who love them!

Millard Children's Academy

We absolutely can’t say enough positive things about preschool at Millard Children’s Academy. Our daughter has learned so much in the year and half she has been there and is prepared for kindergarten because of it. The staff has been amazing since day one. I think compared to other centers, the most important influencing factor is the staff has long tenure making familiar faces each and everyday for the kids. Everyone is friendly, welcome to feedback, they provide bi-annual progress reports, and committed to the best interest of the kids. We would highly recommend Millard Children’s Academy to anyone!!!

My daughter has been attending MCA for about a year and the experience has been nothing short of wonderful! She just turned five and I feel that she is extremely well-prepared to go into Kindergarten in a few months. The staff at MCA are very friendly and they offer weekly field trips that you can sign your child up for at any time, plus they have several different rooms that the kids rotate between so they aren't just sitting in the same classroom all day long. My daughter loves going to preschool every day and I'm so glad we sent her to Millard Children's Academy.

Our son has been at MCA since he was 2 1/2, he is now 5. We have had a great experience here! The staff is very friendly and takes great care of our little guy! The preschool program is wonderful, the kids get to rotate through different rooms that each focus on a different subject to help keep them learning and engaged. Everything is always clean and they are good about keeping us informed of any illnesses in our son’s class. Each week they have a theme to learn about and they do so many awesome art projects with the kids! We have no doubt our son is in excellent hands while we are working!

I cannot speak highly enough about Millard Children's Academy.  The staff is professional, courteous, and always shows the utmost care for our kiddos.  Since bringing our first child to MCA 5 years ago, we have consistently been impressed with the cleanliness of the building and the focus on learning while our kids are there.  Our littles genuinely love their teachers and look forward to going to MCA every morning.  If you are searching for a childcare provider, please do not hesitate to consider Millard Children's Academy!

We were originally referred to Millard Children's Academy by 3 of our neighbors. We couldn't be happier with deciding to take our kids there. They have created a special bond with lots of the help working there. MCA keeps you well informed and accommodate any special needs your children may need. I would highly recommend MCA to anyone.

The Learning Experience - Omaha Elkhorn

School of Rock

School of Rock has given our son an awesome  platform to learn how to play along with others and how to perform.   The mentors are easy to work with and he looks forward to going every single week. Great experience!

Confidence building! After a very hard year, it’s wonderful to see our daughter getting back to her confident, spunky self. I credit Brandi and School of Rock! Of course, diving into music is healing in itself, but our daughter has been so encouraged and supported that it is literally changing her life. We can not thank School of Rock enough!

I went to the Dundee Days School of Rock Concert. I was blown away by the talent. The talent of those kids  is just WOW! Only shows how amazing the staff are! Wish I had known about School of Rock before I turned 17! They sure know how to perform! 👌🏾  How amazing!

Love this place. My 11yo has drastically improved playing guitar by taking lessons. She has also been taking singing lessons and sounds awesome.  Soon she will be taking keyboard lessons.  All from one close location.  All the instructors she has are "the best!"

They have instructors who understand that my 6yr old grandson learns best while having fun.

Apple Tree Orchard Preschool & Childcare

Our child loves going to Apple Tree Orchard.  The teachers are so kind and all the different activities keep our kiddo engaged all day.  I also appreciate the safety precautions, especially the controlled entry.  Thank you for being so great! We appreciate you!

My son has gone to this daycare for a year and a half and the growth and difference I have noticed has been night and day. From the excellent work done by teachers to get him comfortable, as the beginning of anything new can always be nerve racking, to the work done to prepare him for kindergarten, to the music programs, to the structure and organization of the entire daycare everything is set up to give every kid the chance to succeed. I am incredibly grateful for my son's experience and would highly recommend this facility to anyone who asks.

We love Apple Tree Orchard! The teachers are all wonderful and treat the children as they would their own. My girls both loved everything about the daycare. Kristin is a blessing to know. She always was helpful when we had questions and working with us. If you want a daycare that your children will love with knowing their safety is a top priority, then Apple Tree Orchard is the perfect place.

Apple tree orchard has been a true blessing, my son is always excited to go, and he absolutley loves his teachers. We have been with apple tree orchard for 2 years and regret not taking him sooner. I would definetly recommend this place to any worried moms leaving their kids for the first time.

The innovation and plans of action during the pandemic that came in to effect right away in order to stay open was a blessing for a mom working in the medical field. I was able to relay in them so  I could continue to work and never doubted not taking my son when Covid hit knowing they had a good plan in place.

They not only take good care of our children but also have a curriculum where my son was able to learn so much. He initially had speech delays but has had great improvement and we are so happy with the progress he has made. We are sad he will be leaving soon for kindergarten but are thankfull for everything they have done in my childs development.

Very impressed! The teachers were so good to our daughter, they taught her so much and the activities helped get her beyond ready for kindergarten. They encouraged our daughter to try new foods and her spanish skills are incredible. We are beyond grateful for appletree and truly miss all the terrific staff!
