About The Hills Montessori of Omaha

In order for the lessons to have meaning, they must be applied to real life situation. The teachers create individual lessons based on beauty and simplicity, isolation to difficulty and simple to complex.

The primary goal of the Montessori philosophy is to help children reach his or her full potential in all areas of life. It offers a sensible, structured system that allows children to develop at their own pace, using their own abilities, with the guidance of a trained teacher and the use of specially designed materials.
