Nebraska Foundation for Children's Vision

About NFCV

NFCV

 

The Nebraska Foundation for Children’s Vision, a 501(c)3 educational and charitable foundation, seeks to ensure that every child entering school in Nebraska is visually ready to learn through expanding the SEE TO LEARN® program in Nebraska, offering a free vision assessment to all three year olds by a professional eye care provider, through providing educational materials and resources for children and parents as well as a multidisciplinary Symposium. The NFCV seeks to ensure that by the time children in Nebraska enter kindergarten, they will have received adequate, appropriate assessment of their vision, a critical component of learning.


If a child cannot see,
A child cannot read,
And if a child cannot read
A child cannot learn.

- Nicki Patton, Kentucky
