Completely KIDS (completelykids.org) on March 18 marked a major milestone with the groundbreaking of the new Henry Davis Center and the reimagined Cindy Leiferman Nature Explore Classroom.
Held at 2448 St. Mary’s Avenue, the invitation-only ceremony brought together donors, volunteers, community partners, and city leaders to commemorate the organization’s next phase of growth.
The Henry Davis Center will feature eight early childhood classrooms serving children ages 5 and under, expanding access to high-quality early learning. The top floor of the facility will also include dedicated spaces for group and individual therapy, introducing additional evidence-based modalities such as music therapy and play therapy.
The reimagined Cindy Leiferman Nature Explore Classroom will enhance the existing outdoor learning environment, updating dedicated spaces for exploration, creativity, and hands-on discovery.
This expansion will increase Completely KIDS’ total annual services from just over 40,000 in 2025 to more than 50,000, equipping families with education and mental health tools for generational success. Through innovative, evidence based programming and community building, the organization aims to create lasting change for Omaha KIDS and families.
“This groundbreaking represents an investment not only in a building, but in the future of our Omaha community,” said Carla Rizzo, CEO of Completely KIDS. “The Henry Davis Center will allow us to reach children earlier, strengthen families, and deliver services with greater impact for years to come.”
The Henry Davis Center is part of Completely KIDS’ $28 million comprehensive campaign. Construction will continue throughout 2027, with the center opening upon completion.
