Standing adjacent to Nelson Mandela Elementary (NME) is the Nelson Mandela Early Childhood Development Center (ECDC), serving young scholars ages 3-5. They first opened their doors in March of 2019, and therefore recently celebrated their one-year anniversary. Mandela’s ECDC offers activities and opportunities that are designed to be a catalyst for their scholars to reach their educational goals and full potential.
Nelson Mandela ECDC follows in the footsteps of the Elementary School, with a commitment to serve the surrounding community. They prioritize acceptance based on families that live within a mile and a half of the school, qualify for free and reduced lunch, and are committed to engagement with their scholars through volunteer hours. At the school, scholars receive a year-round education with full-day programming, and every child plays violin through the Omaha Conservatory of Music’s String Sprouts Program.
Nelson Mandela ECDC currently operates with 64 scholars, and they look forward to a bright future in partnership with Nelson Mandela Elementary. Learn more by following Nelson Mandela Early Childhood Center on Facebook or by visiting their website at nelsonmandelaecdc.org.
