Montessori At The Marina

read moreWatch this short video for an at-a-glance overview of the Montessori approach and see why what we do at Montessori Education Centers (MEC) is so unique. We serve the Omaha and surrounding communities of Elkhorn, Gretna, Papillion, and LaVista. Our preschools are meticulously cleaned and thoroughly sanitized. We take the extra safety precautions you'd expect, such as monitoring grounds with closed-circuit cameras, restricted access to our buildings, and enclosing our yards for protection and privacy.

Our past experiences have shown us that children who attend less than five days tend to have a more difficult time transitioning into and settling into their day. They have a harder time developing relationships and do not get the full value of the education we offer. When the time comes to move into a more traditional school environment, Montessori children usually adapt very well. Our programs are designed to help children develop positive self-images and confidence so they can face challenges and change with optimism.

On your first visit we'll ensure you're more than satisfied with a plan. Your child has the freedom to explore their interests, within a carefully monitored structure, with teachers helping facilitate that exploration. The environment of each classroom, including the types and locations of multi-sensory resources and activities, is meticulously organized and maintained to provide optimal learning conditions for students of all ages.
