Early Childhood

The safety of the children are always the priority of our facility. Regular tornado, fire, evacuation and emergency drills are practiced at the CDC. The basement of the CDC has been designated a safe zone for tornados. In addition, we ask that you carry your JCC membership card to gain access to our secure building. Your card can be swiped to gain access through any of our doors. In order to help in asking our facility safer we ask for you to keep a watchful eye. Please report any strange behavior to the CDC.

Legal Custody Notification

In compliance with Nebraska law we require documentation regarding which parent has legal custody in the case of separation or divorce. If there is no legal documentation, then both parents have the right of access to CDC records and pick-up of their children. It is the responsibility of the custodial parent to provide legal documentation verifying custody arrangements. Custodial parents are responsible for notifying the CDC, in writing, of any special circumstances with regard to the rights and obligations of the non-custodial parent. This includes providing written permission for the non-custodial parent to pick-up a child on a regular basis or for a special occasion.

Winter Storm Information

The Full-Time Program will close ONLY if the Jewish Community Center building is closed. Please call 334-6413 to check on the Part-Time and Full-Time closings. Please call the Pennie Z. Davis Child Development Center office before heading to the facility to make sure that enough staff have arrived to handle the amount of children. In addition, please look for an email from the CDC related to the weather. The CDC policy for closing the Part-Time Program is made by the Director and/or Assistant CDC Director. The decision is made independently of the Omaha/Millard Schools.
