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? We offer Montessori programs for children ages 6 weeks to 6 years, and we nurture each child’s desire to blossom. 

Our Midtown Montessori 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 TEACHERS EXPERTLY GUIDE YOUR CHILD
At Midtown Montessori Omaha Preschool, instructors are Montessori trained. Our school is an AMS full-member site, which means we meet the standards of excellence of Montessori educators worldwide.

A MULTI-AGE CLASSROOM IS IDEAL FOR EARLY LEARNING
Children learn at their own pace! In multi-age classrooms, children can build stronger relationships. The older children can show leadership and become mentors to their younger peers, and 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. 

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 our Midtown Montessori Omaha Preschool, children are seen as unique individuals with infinite potential to learn and grow.

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 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 at Midtown Montessori Omaha follow their interests so that they can explore freely.

ARTS AND CRAFTS SPARK YOUR BABY’S CREATIVE ABILITIES
Your baby will be introduced to 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. 

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 emphasize process rather than product.

RESPONDING RESPECTFULLY WITH RIE© EDUCARING©
The RIE® Educaring® approach encourages responding to your child respectfully. We are the only school 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 by 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.

Working with toddlers has always been my passion. Every day is always a new challenge and they are learning and developing so many milestones in their little lives. I always feel like there is more to learn in Montessori with infants and toddlers and I am excited to be a part of their journey. I enjoy helping adult learners and parents learn more about the Montessori philosophy too.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family. I play guitar, and I really love my plants and gardening. I also love serving in my church food pantry. My tortoises and dog, Rosy, are a big part of my free time.

I studied psychology and journalism at Creighton University, attended the Great Plains Montessori Teacher Training Center, and hold an AMS (American Montessori Society) Infant and Toddler Certification.

I started working with infants at Montessori Educational Centers out of high school. While attending college, I decided to take the Montessori training and began working with toddlers full time and became a lead teacher. I became a director at the House of Montessori location for a few years, and continued to be the lead teacher in toddlers there. My career has spanned 40 years with transitioning from a lead back to a director at Midtown Montessori and mentoring and coaching adults in the classroom.

I am passionate about children thriving and developing into the best version they can be at our school! I always feel there is more to learn for myself as an educator and to improve in my own journey. I enjoy helping staff, parents and children learn more about Montessori.

House of Montessori has been wonderful! It has been fun to see our sons interests be nurtured. He loved the “Look who’s hatching” program, tumble bus, Spanish, and certified nature playground.

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!
