A Statewide Campaign Supporting Early Childhood Social and Emotional Development: Connect, Feel, Belong!

We’re excited to launch Nurture Nebraska, a statewide campaign created with partners across Nebraska to help every child grow and thrive—one connection, one routine, and one story at a time. Our goal is simple: make early childhood social and emotional development easy for families, educators, and communities to understand and support in everyday life.

Through research-backed insights and creative storytelling, the campaign brings together children’s drawings and stories, parents’ and educators’ reflections, expert videos, animations, airport displays, radio spots, social content, and community events. Everything is designed to help Nebraskans feel more aware and more confident as they nurture young children’s social and emotional growth.

In the coming weeks, you’ll see Nurture Nebraska across the state: at airports, on radio stations, on social media, and through local partners. Every part of the campaign is rooted in our belief that every feeling belongs, every caregiver matters, every family deserves support, and healthy relationships help children grow.

Every child has a place in our wonderful Nebraska community!

Below are the major elements of our statewide launch and how you can engage.
