Willard Community Center (willardcommunitycenter.org), located in southwest Lincoln, is excited to announce the rebranding of its early childhood program. While the program remains a core part of Willard’s services, it will now be known as Early Explorers through Willard Community Center.

This new name reflects the center’s commitment to fostering curiosity, creativity, and confidence in young children during their most important years of growth. Early Explorers will continue to offer high-quality care and educational experiences in a nurturing and inclusive environment for children ages 3 through pre-kindergarten.

As part of this update, the program has also extended its hours and will now be open Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., providing greater flexibility for working families.

“The new name captures the spirit of discovery that happens every day in our classrooms,” said Sarah Reinke, Executive Director. “We’re proud of the strong foundation we provide and believe this rebrand helps better tell our story to families in the community.”

Families currently enrolled will see no disruption in care or staffing, and enrollment remains open for the upcoming year.
