Services

Our services are a holistic solution to the educational gap.

Beyond Education

Parent University currently offers over 80 courses to meet our families’ needs. All courses fall under one of our four major areas: Parenting, Life Skills & Wellness, School Success and Leadership. All of the courses are free to our members. Food, childcare and transportation are offered. Courses are offered morning, afternoon, evenings and weekends to best fit families’ schedules. If you have a course idea please let the staff know.

What we offer

Parents are children’s first and most important teacher. Parents determine a child’s academic blueprint on how a child will succeed. If there is no plan a child will be at a disadvantage. Parent University helps families come up with that plan.

Individual services

Navigator

SERVICES

Each family is assigned an Educational Navigator to assist with goal setting. Parent University is about helping families meet their identified needs. Navigators meet families at places most comfortable and convenient for families. They also assist families learn essential child development and life skills. All Navigators were interviewed and selected for hire by parents on our Parent Advisory Council.

Liaison
Services

Families who have children attending schools can have a Family Liaison assigned to the family to assist in support the child while in school. We partner with Lutheran Family Services to provide liaison services to our families. We believe it is important to have a liaison or bridge from school to the home and home to school. If your child is not in school yet, but you need help getting connected to resources, liaisons can help with that too.

Family Resource Room/Onsite Library

Reading and being knowledgeable about resources is important. Through our partnership with the Omaha Public Library families can receive a free library card and access to check out books and toy kits. Families are encouraged to use the computers and printers to search for job, do school work or work on resumes. Resource pamphlets and brochures are also available from families to take to stay informed about community resources and offerings.
