We are considering a possible move to Lincoln, NE, this summer. I have trying to find out about good preschools in the area. Where we live now (PA) many schools fill up before summer even comes, so I am trying to get a leg up and find out about good preschools in the area so I am prepared once we make our final decision. My daughter just turned three, and I'm looking for a program that is 2-3hours, 2 or 3 days a week, but am open to other suggestions. Thank you!

What can I do next?

Hi D.! I would check out the Montessori schools. I would not hesitate to enroll my child in the Montessori School for Young Children. This school is on 4727 A Street in Lincoln. It has a certified Montessori Director and is a parent owned non-profit organization (since 1978). Their phone number is ###-###-####. I have visited with the director and I have observed their classrooms. I would change a few things if it were my school, but nothing that is of great importance and that would raise a "red" flag for me. I am AMS certified and have been in Montessori education for over 20 years now. I am now teaching an online teacher training course through Yahoo Groups and I own a Montessori webstore: http://www.amontessorimarketplace.com

Blessings, K.

I would recommend Wee Wisdom for a preschool. It is a Christian preschool located at 53 rd and Old Cheney. My son goes there and he loves it! They have morning and afternoon sessions that are 3 hours long on either Monday, Wednesday and Friday or Tuesday and Thursdays. They have great staff and a great director and a great program! Let me know if you want more info!

Several of the elementary schools in Lincoln use peer models as part of their early childhood special education program. The kids can start when they're 3 yrs. old. My daughter did this at Everett Elementary, and loved it! The peer models are in the classroom with kids that have a variety of special needs (some noticable and some not). They go through regular pre-school curriculum in the school. Everett has 2 sessions (morning and afternoon). The kids go 5 days a week. It was a wonderful experience for my daughter because she really learned a lot and got school/classroom experience before starting kindergarden. The instructors are also great! Since this is part of the public schools, it's free. You can contact Joni Rouse at Everett ###-###-####) to discuss it further. You can also contact the LPS administrative office at ###-###-#### to find out what other schools have this opportunity. I hope this helps or gives you something else to consider. Feel free to contact me with any other questions you may have about our experience.

I have heard good things about the Montessori school here. Also, my 2 year old goes to Christ Kids at Christ Lutheran Church. They have a preschool there as well which I imagine is as wonderful as the daycare. Small numbers and Christ based education. www.christschools.org

Good luck!
