Your School
We are very proud to be recognized by the readers of Omaha Magazine as the Best Preschool in Omaha!Do you want more than a traditional daycare, preschool, or child care center in Omaha for your child? Our Omaha Montessori school offers Montessori programs for children ages 6 weeks to 6 years. Our highly trained and caring staff nurtures each child’s desire to blossom through age-appropriate activities and hands-on learning. Our Omaha Montessori school program guides children to gain independence and self-awareness through embracing Maria Montessori’s principles.
Instructors at our Omaha Montessori school are equipped with a Bachelor’s degree, as well as two years of Montessori training. Each teacher holds a Montessori AMS accreditation, and our school is an AMS full member site, which means we meet the standards of excellence of Montessori educators worldwide. You can be sure that your child is receiving high-quality Montessori education from our Omaha preschool and daycare staff.
Children learn at their own pace! By placing children of different ages in the same classroom, they can build stronger relationships. Older children can gain leadership qualities and become mentors to their younger peers, and younger children can model after the older children. This arrangement mirrors real-life experiences where the reality is that they will be working with and across many chronological ages as adults. This unique setup prepares children for the real world and adulthood by teaching them how to work together with peers.
With the RIE® Educaring® Approach, babies are viewed and spoken to in ways that allow them to be active participants in their daily lives. The deep respect this approach engenders is the start of self-love and self-esteem. Your child’s curiosity is supported through opportunities to learn by selecting their own activities. Hands-on learning led by your child’s interests teaches them that education is something to be enjoyed not endured.
If your child is learning to grasp, they will get more grasping opportunities. When they start to pull up, they’ll have more opportunities to pull up in their space. Through observations, teachers follow their interests so that they can explore freely and develop their skills. This child-focused independent learning approach puts your child first to give them the opportunity to teach themselves through natural exploration. Our staff encourages children in their care to see where their curiosity leads them.
Your baby will be introduced to expression through art because artistic expression begins early! Through specialized art classes, your child will develop motor skills and explore their imagination through creativity. These educational experiences support a healthy self-image and foster a love for learning. When children are creative, they try new ways of thinking and can practice problem-solving.
At our Omaha Montessori school, your child enters a world of expression and creativity as they choose colors and textures to explore. Art practice also improves fine motor skills, making things like gripping a pencil easier as they grow.
By observing your child, providing the right lesson when they’re ready, and letting them practice until mastered, your child excels at every level. Montessori teachers at our preschool emphasize process rather than product. This teaching method nurtures children’s trust and allows them to follow their interests rather than a pre-set curriculum.
The RIE® Educaring® approach encourages responding to your child respectfully. We are the only Omaha Montessori school that boasts this additional education level and training for the teaching team that guides your child every day.
Your child is free to choose activities guided by their curiosity, to develop their strengths and talents. Montessori materials also have built-in challenges, so your child develops critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills.
In a multi-age classroom, your child gains inspiration from older students and becomes a leader for younger students. A diverse mini-community helps your child learn through seeing empathy and kindness in action.
Montessori-educated teachers give equal parts guidance, structure, flexibility, and freedom. Your child practices reasoning as they question, probe, and make connections, growing into enthusiastic, self-directed learners. This independence building prepares them for adulthood and sets them up for future success.
Our Omaha Montessori Preschool and Daycare gives your child a top-quality education in a loving and nurturing environment. Our staff would love to hear from you. Give us a call or stop by to learn more about enrolling your child.
