MISSION STATEMENT

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION STATEMENT
Respect for and understanding of diversity, cultural awareness, and a global perspective are all core values of a Montessori education, as is a general commitment to what we might broadly call, ‘social justice’ and ‘equity.’ The Montessori Co-op School community – from leadership, staff, teachers, parents, and students – reaffirms these core values. In general, we want to be a welcoming school for the broadest possible range of people. And, in general, we want our default to be toward making whatever accommodations necessary, possible and reasonable to accommodate the varieties of ways of being in our world.

PHILOSOPHY
Montessori Co-op School is a non-profit Montessori school founded in 1984 in Omaha, NE. Our co-operative model allows parents and teachers to create a distinct learning environment for children.

Each program at the Co-op provides a loving and stimulating environment to prepare children for life by exposing them to sensorial and practical life materials, language arts, math, social studies, science, and arts.
