Early Childhood Education

Our early childhood education program provides exceptional care at two state-of-the-art childcare centers—the A.W. Clark Child Development Center and the Spellman Child development Center—where young children build the skills they need for kindergarten success.

Lavigne Learning Center

The Herbert J. Lavigne Learning Center offers a specialized educational environment for students in grades 1–12 who face significant emotional and behavioral challenges in the Council Bluffs-metro and surrounding Southwest Iowa communities.

KidSquad Support Services

KidSquad partners with parents and childcare providers across the Omaha-metro to strengthen children’s social-emotional skills, address behavioral challenges early and promote healthy development through coaching and collaboration—creating supportive environments for every child.

School & Family Enrichment (SAFE)

SAFE is a collaboration between CSI, Omaha Public Schools (OPS) and Region 6 Behavioral Health Care to provide families with voluntary family-based support services for children and their families from kindergarten through middle school.
