Omaha HAVEN: A Community Network to Enrich Education and Empower Families

When in the course of human events you suddenly find yourself in charge of your child’s education, remember.....you are not alone. 

Parents have the right and responsibility for the whole and complete education of their child, regardless of where they attend school. And what an incredible journey that can prove to be! Whether your child uses public, private or ‘home-school’ options, there are plenty of resources here to enrich and empower you for the divine task to "train up a child in the way they should go." (Proverbs 22:6)

We, who are in the midst and tail end of that journey, have recognized the need for a place where every parent may come for timely information, support, resources, and education as you pursue your own journey.

Omaha HAVEN is a new and developing organization. We are just beginning in our efforts to connect the larger Latter-day Saint home-school community in the greater Omaha area and compile important information and resources to support families in their efforts to educate their children. We hope you will join with us and help us build this umbrella of support. As we develop our vision we plan to provide many valuable resources and helps in an easy to access space.

At Omaha HAVEN you will find...

• Connections with other families who are striving for a virtuous education.
• Small group connections that support positive education experiences.
• Service opportunities for all ages—organized and frequent.
• Information on large group home-school co-ops and home-school community activities.
• Resources ideas to enrich or supplement the school day.
• Parent reviews and recommendations pertaining to education and parenting.
• Resources to assist you in understanding and working in harmony with your child.
• Educational research to support and inform you.
• Current and recent legislation which affect families and education.
• Questions and answers we all face on this journey.

Combining the breadth and depth of our experiences over the years in all educational institutions--as educators, parents, and participants--we hope that our offerings here in a central place will become a valuable tool in your hand. And we look forward to hearing and learning from you too! Welcome!
