Our Story

Hi, I’m Gabrielle “Gabbie” Hervey, the proud owner of Beanstalk Childcare & Academy. Our center has been a trusted part of the Omaha community for over two decades, serving families with care, consistency, and love. I’m honored to continue that legacy and lead Beanstalk into its next chapter.

 

My journey with Beanstalk began more than 20 years ago — I was the first employee when my Aunt Jacque and my late Uncle Junebug opened the doors. From the very beginning, I watched their hard work, heart, and dedication create a place that felt like home for so many families. To now stand in this position and continue the legacy they built truly means the world to me.

 

Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children, and I understand how important these early years are for every family. I believe in creating a space that feels warm, safe, and filled with opportunities for every child to learn and grow.

 

At Beanstalk, our mission is to nurture the whole child — socially, emotionally, and academically — through a loving and structured environment. We focus on positive reinforcement, creative play, and developmental learning, helping every child build confidence and curiosity.

 

For our older students, we offer school-readiness programs that encourage independence, teamwork, and a love for learning. From the youngest babies in our care to the oldest students preparing for kindergarten and beyond, our goal is to make sure each child feels valued, supported, and inspired every day.

 

Beanstalk Childcare & Academy isn’t just a daycare — it’s a family, and continuing the legacy of Aunt Jacque and Uncle Junebug is both my purpose and my passion.

Our Commitment to Your Child

At Beanstalk Childcare, we are deeply committed to fostering a safe, loving, and stimulating environment where each child is treated as an individual. We believe that every child has unique strengths and needs, and our approach is tailored to support their personal growth, curiosity, and love of learning. Our team of passionate educators works closely with each child to build a strong foundation for academic and social development, ensuring they are prepared for success in school and life.

Our Personality

If Beanstalk Childcare were a person, its personality would be warm, nurturing, and endlessly curious. It would have a gentle, patient nature, always ready to encourage exploration and creativity while providing a safe and supportive space for growth. This person would be enthusiastic, always excited to discover new ways to inspire and engage, and would possess a natural sense of adventure, never afraid to try new things and embrace the unknown. Above all, they would radiate positivity and optimism, fostering an environment where children feel confident to take risks, learn, and develop into their best selves.

Our Hopes and Dreams

Looking ahead, our biggest hopes and dreams for Beanstalk Childcare are to continue expanding our impact by providing exceptional care and education to more children, ensuring they have the foundation they need to thrive both academically and socially. We envision creating an even more dynamic, inclusive environment where each child’s unique potential is celebrated, and where families feel supported every step of the way.

For the children in our care, we dream of seeing them grow into confident, compassionate, and curious individuals who are ready to embrace the challenges of the future. We hope to inspire a lifelong love of learning and equip them with the tools they need to navigate the world with kindness, creativity, and resilience. Ultimately, our vision is to contribute to raising a generation of thoughtful leaders and problem-solvers who will make a positive impact on their communities and beyond.
