In 1907, visionary Italian physician Maria Montessori launched a revolutionary education and childcare model when she established her first “Children’s House” in Rome. Also exemplifying progressive education and childcare, The Hills Montessori was founded over a century later and more than 5,000 miles away in Omaha.
Inspired by Dr. Montessori’s insights into childhood development, particularly a child’s inherent drive for knowledge and autonomy, The Hills Montessori offers a transformative learning experience. The original Montessori at 107th & Military Streets was so well received by the community that it is now accompanied by a newly opened center in Elkhorn.
At both locations, passionate and expertly trained staff meticulously prepare child-centered environments designed to stimulate curiosity and foster independence. Utilizing specialized materials and guided by Montessori principles, children from infancy to age 6 embark on a journey of discovery, laying the foundation for a lifetime of learning and growth. From mastering practical life skills to delving into academic pursuits, every aspect of the Montessori experience at The Hills is tailored to nurture the unique potential within each child.
