Becki Jelinek

Director of Enrollment & Marketing

Ms. Becki is a life-long resident of Omaha. After graduating from Millard North High School, Ms. Becki immediately began her Montessori career where she fell in love with the Montessori philosophy! Ms. Becki always had a very natural love for children and when she discovered Montessori she knew all of her instincts about children were correct.

Ms. Becki worked at a local Montessori for over six years, took the primary teacher training and left when she had her first child (Ms. Gabi) who also happens to be a staff member at The Hills. Ms. Becki has three other children and all of them were Montessori educated through eighth grade, with the exception of child number four, who is in fifth grade Montessori.

Shortly after her first child was born, Ms. Becki attended the University of Nebraska at Omaha where she pursued studies in Child Psychology.  She then went on to work in the Child Life Department at Children’s Hospital, Directed a Substance Abuse Program for Young Children (HALO) at Heartland Family Services and then opened up her own business, Family Spectrum. Family Spectrum was a FREE monthly parenting magazine, which was supplemented by a daily parenting talk radio show. Ms. Becki was the publisher/editor and host of Family Spectrum magazine and radio and did this for eight years. Ultimately she sold the magazine to Omaha magazine who still publishes it, now under the name of HER Family.

After selling her business, Ms. Becki went to work as Marketing Director at Walker Tire & Auto Service. One of her proudest accomplishments in that role was helping to create and implement a brand new permanent exhibit at the Omaha Children’s Museum, which is still there to date.

Early 2013 Ms. Becki began helping with the marketing and program development at The Hills Montessori and in November 2014 she joined the team full-time. She is extremely excited to be able to continue supporting children as they grow in independence and reach their fullest potential.
