My name is Berni Kappel and I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the USD 475 Child Development Center. I received my Bachelor of Science in Education and Human Sciences with a major in Child Development from the University of Nebraska Lincoln. I have worked in Early Childhood Education since 2001, and I always strive for excellence when it comes to providing the best possible outcome for children.

Family involvement is integral to each child's development, so I would like to extend to you an open door policy if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions for how to take the best care of your child. Parents are welcome in the center at any time throughout the day.

Thank you for allowing me, and our staff, to be a part of your family's life.

Berni Kappel
Director
