Montessori Children’s Room
LOCATION
Omaha, Nebraska
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Montessori Children’s Room is located in the heart of Omaha. This environmentally conscious facility is nestled on two acres in a quiet neighborhood.
The facility was designed from the inside out to meet the needs of young children. The Montessori philosophy allows children to move around freely in a secure, spacious, prepared environment; it teaches children the importance of caring for the environment. Each classroom leads out to a beautiful outdoor classroom where children have the opportunity to interact with nature on a daily basis. The unique, natural playground has a dry river bed and pathways that meander throughout. The fenced-in play space, accented by giant boulders and native grasses, allows children the opportunity to explore nature through creative gross motor play.
Montessori Children’s Room is licensed as a preschool by the Nebraska Department of Social Services and is state approved by the Nebraska Board of Education as a certified elementary school.
