School Overview
The **ESU #9 Preschool Home Base Program**, located in Hastings, Nebraska, is a specialized educational service operated by Educational Service Unit #9. Unlike traditional classroom-based preschools, this program is designed to deliver early childhood education and developmental support directly to families within their own homes. It focuses on fostering school readiness, social-emotional development, and foundational learning skills for children during their critical early years, while also providing parents with resources and strategies to support their child’s growth.

By operating as a "home base" model, the program emphasizes a partnership between educators and families. It is specifically tailored to reach children who may benefit from individualized attention or who reside in areas where center-based options might be less accessible. Through regular visits, ESU #9 staff provide age-appropriate activities and developmental screenings, ensuring that children are well-prepared for the transition to kindergarten and that families are equipped with the tools necessary to advocate for and nurture their child’s ongoing educational success.
