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 childcare center in Omaha for your child? We offer Montessori programs for children ages six weeks to six years, and we nurture each child’s desire to blossom. Our Omaha preschool staff provides the highest-quality educational opportunities for children. We strive to encourage a positive self-image, foster curiosity and help children develop peer friendships.

MONTESSORI-CERTIFIED TEACHERS EXPERTLY GUIDE YOUR CHILD

Instructors 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. 

The Montessori principles of education drive our staff to educate the whole child through freedom of movement and choice, individualized learning, independence, and more. At Child’s World Montessori preschool in Omaha, children are seen as unique individuals with infinite potential to learn and grow.

A MULTI-AGE CLASSROOM IS IDEAL FOR EARLY LEARNING

Children learn at their own pace! In a multi-age classroom, children can build stronger relationships, the older children can show leadership and become mentors to their younger peers, and the younger children can model the older children. This arrangement mirrors real-life experiences where the reality is that they will be working with and across many chronological ages. 

INFANT PROGRAM | 6 WEEKS TO 18 MONTHS

YOUR BABY AS AN INVENTOR AND EXPLORER WITH RIE® EDUCARERS®
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.

CHILDREN ARE GIVEN THE SPACE TO EXPLORE FREELY
If your child is learning to grasp, they get more grasping opportunities. When they start to pull up, they’ll have more opportunities to pull up in their space. Through observations, teachers at our Omaha daycare follow the child’s interests so that they can explore freely.

ARTS AND CRAFTS SPARK YOUR BABY’S CREATIVE ABILITIES

Your baby will be introduced to creative expression through art because artistic expression begins early! Through a specialized art program, your child will develop motor skills and explore their imagination through creativity. This will set them up for success in their future learning and promote critical thinking skills.

TODDLER PROGRAM| 18 MONTHS TO 3 YEARS

ART PRACTICE INCREASES YOUR CHILD’S CREATIVITY
Your child explores 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.  

EACH CHILD LEARNS AT THEIR OWN PACE
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 Omaha preschool emphasize process rather than product.

RESPONDING RESPECTFULLY WITH RIE© EDUCARING©
The RIE® Educaring® approach encourages responding to your child respectfully. We are the only Omaha preschool that boasts this additional education level and training for the teaching team that guides your child every day.

PRESCHOOL PROGRAM | 2.5 TO 6 YEARS

MONTESSORI MATERIALS THAT TEACH THROUGH EXPLORATION
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. 

MULTI-AGE CLASSROOMS HELP YOUR CHILD LEARN FROM PEERS
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. This mimics the reality that they will be working with people of different ages and backgrounds as they grow into adulthood. Starting this arrangement early will benefit children in the long run and prepare them for the future.

SELF-LED LEARNING BUILDS CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS
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.

Stefanie Francisco

School Director

Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Stefanie Francisco I fell in love with Montessori seven years ago. I started at a different location and then I transitioned to Child’s World, and I am going into my 8th year. Child’s World is my second home, this is where I have planted my roots and where I have learned so much from my incredible mentor. I am attending MTEI Institute to be a Montessori certified as an Infant/ Toddler teacher. I was born in El Salvador and came to the US in 2003. Since then, I have made this country my home. I am married and have two children and two dogs. I love to spend time with family, cooking is one of my favorites. I also love bike riding and long walks with my dogs. I love to share with my children, my culture, the food, the country I was born in, and places that mean a lot to me. My goal for my classroom is to help the children develop a positive attitude towards school, to guide the children’s freedom, and confidence to make decisions in their environment, develop self-confidence, develop self-practical skills, and prepare for success. Community is very important to me, and I would love to build a strong community within our school and families. I am excited to continue my journey with children and families and I am thankful to be part of your child’s journey.

Operational Director

I am the Operational Director for two campuses, Curious Child Montessori in LaVista and the Child’s World.  I have the opportunity to oversee operations and support the leadership team and teaching team at these two schools.  I studied Human Services and Counseling while attending Wayne State College.

In Montessori, the children are learning many different things, in a lot of different ways, yet something new each day.  I started working in Early Childhood when I was in high school and continued my passion for early learners after college, teaching in a Toddler classroom and a Preschool classroom.

I am here for my team, the families and the students.  I want parents to feel that school is a continuation of home.

In my free time, I like to watch sports, go fishing, go for long walks and disconnect on vacations.

We love Shelly, Jackie, Emi, Krista and Lisa. My son has been going here since he was 8 months old and has loved it. He is in miss Shelly's class now but we sometimes drop him off early with Miss Jackie. They are all so wonderful. I feel safe leaving him with them during the day. They do a great job and I love seeing pictures of him throughout the day. Montessori is the best!

My husband and I are new to Montessori but already we believe we have chosen a perfect fit for our daughter. The staff has made an enormous effort to get to know our family as well as make accommodations for our daughter’s medical needs. However, what struck me most during our short time here was how these individuals go above and beyond to care for the children and their families. I had provided a bag of 40 ounces of frozen breastmilk just in case our daughter needed extra throughout the day. Anyway, with the recent storms in Omaha, one of our daughter’s teachers went out of her way to check on the breastmilk that morning after the storms had passed and found that the power was out and my breastmilk had begun to thaw. Once I was informed about the situation by the lead instructor, the same wonderful teacher made another special trip out to our center so that we could attempt to save/utilize the breastmilk. All of this occurred on a Saturday. Fortunately, thanks to their efforts, my breastmilk was able to be refrozen per CDC’s guidelines and will be able to be utilized in the future. So, in short, we are very impressed with the care our family receives here and by our daughter’s teachers. We are incredibly excited to watch her grow and develop under the care of these wonderful instructors.

Our kids have attended House of Montessori for 2 years and I continue to be impressed by the care and attention they receive. The staff support our kids' curiosity and development and nurture them as well. They have excellent programming with thoughtful ways for kids to expend energy and learn at their own pace. To top it off, the owners make a point to invest into the facilities each year, choosing improvements to better the overall experience. We couldn't be happier with our Montessori Educational Center experience!
