Common Goals.
Uncommon Paths.

You may know the name Montessori. And though Montessori is part of our name, it only begins to describe what makes us different.

We joined the primary education landscape in Omaha in 1984. In those 30 years, we’ve discovered what many parents want for their children. Time-tested learning materials and a variety of educational experiences rooted in core concepts. The opportunity to learn at their own pace. Assistance when needed and the stability of a teacher who knows and understands their child’s strengths. An alternative path to essential skills and knowledge. A school that feels like home.

With parents as our partners, we have created a community that gives our children a chance for a brighter, more fulfilling future.

Our Environment

We provide a loving and stimulating environment in which the children gain knowledge and develop practical life skills in a manner true to the Montessori philosophy.

From Small to Tall

Our elementary students are the agents in their own education and progress in their learning at an individual pace. Children are encouraged to explore their own interests while meeting age-appropriate standards within the boundaries of the school day.

Fun is on Our Schedule

Co-op means “community”. From monthly parent meetings to family movie night to the annual faculty/parent holiday party, the co-op model means activities designed to help us grow as a community.

Citizens of the Earth

Citizens of the Earth

“The Co-op has helped my kids recognize that they are citizens of the Earth and how human actions can impact the Earth. Throughout their Elementary School experience my kids have learned about the Universe, Earth, animals and humans, plants and cells as the building blocks of all living things. The Co-op has fostered a sense of respect for the Earth and the humans who live on the Earth. The Co-op has allowed my children to remain children and savor the wonder of their Childhood instead of feeling pressure to grow up too fast.”
