My children attended school here when they were little - they will soon be entering high school and I can’t tell you how many times I have thought back on the wonderful, amazing experience they had while at Montessori of West
Omaha (with Ms. Christine, Ms. Dana, Ms. Dione.) The time here was something I’m very thankful for and my kiddos have so many great memories. This is a Great place and provides so many amazing experiences for kids! I highly recommend it!!

Montessori Academy of West Omaha is far and away the best early childhood program in the metro area. When our daughter began attending the program at age three she was withdrawn and lacked confidence in social settings. Over the past two years, she has grown tremendously in all areas and now LOVES school. The patient, caring nature of the teachers, coupled with the Montessori programming helped her to build confidence and learn skills of independence. She has blossomed both academically and socially. In fact, we love the school so much that when we moved 25 miles away last fall we kept her in the program because we knew it was truly the best possible place for her.

Montessori Academy of West Omaha is by far the BEST Montessori school in the Omaha area! I know this because I have worked at two other Montessori schools in Omaha and I can not even compare them to Montessori Academy. I worked in the toddler room with Miss Dana when they first opened in 2007. I quit in 2010 to fulfill my dream of becoming a nurse. If I would have not went to college full time I would definitely still work there.
What I loved most about working there was the fun, loving, family-type environment that the teachers provide for the children. The teachers want nothing but the best for each and every child that attends school there. The learning environment that the teachers prepare for the children is awesome! The safe environment lets the children learn, create, and communicate with others which helps them to become independent. The children move freely within the environment where they work with Montessori materials to help develop their physical, social, and mental development. It is simply amazing watching a child develop a new skill!
The facility is beautiful too! The teachers keep the school clean and in order. My Godson is in the primary room and he loves going to school everyday to see his teachers. My Goddaughter soon will be in the toddler room and I know she will love school just as much as her brother does. I occasionally fill in for teachers if they are sick or need a day off and I love going back!
So disregard the one negative comment below because Montessori Academy of West Omaha is truly AMAZING!!!!!!!

My family and I relocated to the Omaha area just over 2 years ago........One of my biggest concerns as a parent is finding full-time care for your children. We hit a Home Run when we found the Montessori of West Omaha........It isn't just a place to take your kids.......it is like family. I can't tell you the passion that ALL of the teachers have for the children that attend the Montessori. If you are looking for a top notch facility that you can rest assure that your kids will be well taken care of and that will provide not only love and passion for your kids but also be able to provide great education Montessori of West Omaha is your place! We love them all and they have taught my kids so much I couldn't have asked for anything more for my kids!

My family and I wanted an educational experience that was hard to find in learning centers/daycare providers around Omaha. My family found that and more at the Montessori Academy of West Omaha! With knowledgable, experienced, friendly staff, my husband and I know our children are receiving the best education! Thank you Montessori Academy!

I cannot say enough positive things about this program. My son has been attending since he was two years of age and he is now almost five ready to transition to kindergarten next year. I cannot imagine sending my children anywhere else. In fact, when I was 12 weeks pregnant with his sister, I reserved her spot at the center to ensure she would have the same early childhood education and experience that her brother has been exposed to.
Prior to beginning at Montessori of West Omaha my son cried every day before school. As a first time parent, I was unsure if he had separation anxiety or if it was something more. I am so thankful I found this center as he has not cried before school since. He has loved each of his teachers in both the toddler and primary rooms. They always welcome him in the morning with a hi and a quick hug.
His educational experience has been nothing short of top notch. He learned his numbers, alphabet, sounds, developed strong fine motor skills, learned to write his name and days of the week/months/seasons, been exposed to the continents as well as other nations, learned to read, and the list goes on and on. Additionally the activities are always changing to challenge his mind and help maintain engagement. Teachers also differentiate student activities to keep pushing a child to gain more and more skills setting them up for great success once they reach school age. As a professional who works in the school, my son has skills that many children do not enter kindergarten with. This will help build his confidence and potential for long term success.
The children gain more than just a strong educational experience, but teachers also have high social expectations. Children learn good manners, how to greet others, how to work independently, and what appropriate school behavior looks like. These skills are practiced and modeled by the teachers every day.
The teachers within the facility are devoted to the success of each child. They accept each child for the individual they are. They love them and the children love their teachers. Teachers also collectively work with parents to make sure you understand where your child is academically and socially. I view these teachers like family as they have been an integral part in my son’s life and the person he has become. I can’t wait for my daughter to be a part of this family in a few months!!

Montessori Acamdemy is the best school Omaha has to offer. I have 3 children, unfortunely only 2 of them will have the experience of the school we call home. I have to openly admit when my now 6 year old had her last day of Montessori I cried because I was not only sad that she was becoming a big girl but also because I didn't want her experience to end. I have never walked into a school that has better teachers and just the thought that I never have smelled a stinky diaper amazes me. I shopped and shopped for preschools and have also enrolled in some preschools, hands down nothing compares to this one! When my 3rd child was literally 2 weeks old I enrolled her to start her journey at Montessori when she turned 18 months. I cannot even explain what she has learned from the curriculum, it is astonishing. Not only has her vocabulary and every day responsibilites improved but the independence they have taught her is incredible. I LOVE this school and recommend it to everyone. The staff is truly wonderful and have become a huge part of our family. Needless to say, my baby isn't even 2 yet and I can pretty much guarentee that I will cry crocodile tears when I pull away from Montessori on the last day. Frequent visits back to the school will be a MUST:)
