NGage Partners with Local Business to Increase Childcare Capacity
20 May 2024
To serve the community the best, Gage Area Growth Enterprise (NGage) partners with local businesses to increase childcare capacity. In 2021, NGage applied for and was accepted into the Nebraska Children & Families Foundation (Nebraska Children) C4K program. The C4K initiative coordinates strategies for increasing community access to high-quality early care and education for children from birth through age five. NGage C4K is customized to Gage County’s unique needs and workforce.
