| MPCC is a non-profit Montessori
school founded in 1982 located in Omaha, Nebraska. MPCC is structured for
children ages 18 months through the 6th grade and offers a great opportunity
for you and your child to be a part of parent-run cooperative education.
Each program at MPCC provides a loving and stimulating environment in which the children
learn language arts, math, geography, science, computer technology,
art, drama, and music. Our children are also exposed to foreign languages
and enjoy many field trips. The use of sensory materials and practical
life skills are emphasized in the toddler and preschool programs and
facilitate learning in the elementary years. These are all presented
in an aesthetically pleasing, prepared environment, which is true to
the Montessori philosophy in purpose and ordered simplicity.
Dr. Maria Montessori opened her first "school" in 1907. It was known as the "Casa
dei Bambina" or "Children's House". This reflected Dr.
Montessori's belief that a carefully prepared environment designed to
facilitate the development of a child's independence would be more beneficial
to the learning process of a child. A Montessori environment is a "hands
on" experience in the most profound way.
