Sheridan Child Development Center (SCDC) is a licensed day care offering a safe, loving and Christian environment for your child. Your child will grow socially, emotionally, cognitively and spiritually. They will learn self confidence, grace, forgiveness, accountability and responsibility.
Our center accepts children from the age of six weeks to 12 years. Each room is specific to that child’s age and maturity. SCDC rates are affordable and reasonable.
We know your child is God’s special gift. As your child ends their day with us, we want them to leave with a sense of knowing the right thing to do and that Christ is always in their heart. We promote values, manners, morals and respect in a nurturing, caring environment.
Sheridan Child Development Center is a serving arm of Sheridan Lutheran Church, but operates as a separate 501(c)(3) organization.
Please read our full Illness Exclusion Policy on pg. 11 of the Parent Handbook.
Sheridan Child Development Center will be closed due to inclement weather if the University of Nebraska closes as a business. If UNL offices are open, SCDC staff will also report. SCDC will provide all weather closing information to families by e-mail and social media. If there is potential for inclement weather or unsafe driving conditions during the evening commute the Center will close at 5:00PM. This decision will be made at the discretion of the SCDC Director and notification will be sent no later than 12:00PM the day of the early closure. Families will also be notified in the event the parking lot cannot be cleared and is considered unsafe.
