The
Montessori Children's House in Lincoln is now enrolling students
for the 2010-2011 school year. The school is open to students from
preschool to grade three and operates Monday through Friday.
Preschool and pre-K students attend half-days, and kindergarten to
third-grade students attend full days.
The Montessori
Children's House is beginning its fifth year of operation in
Lincoln with Ms. Bethany Vickers serving as the school directress.
Ms. Vickers founded and operated the Montessori School of Miami
Beach, Fla., for 33 years prior to opening the Montessori Children's
House in Lincoln.
Children attending the Montessori Children's House learn in a
mixed age group environment and are free to move about, speak and
work within the school. Children work one-on-one receiving a lesson
from teachers or older students in one of the four avenues of
learning: practical life, sensorial, language and math. In addition,
children are instructed in music and basic French. Practicing good
manners and showing respect for others are strongly emphasized, so
that grace and courtesy become a part of a child's way of life.
Parents of prospective students are encouraged to come in and
observe the classroom to see the difference a Montessori education
can make. For enrollment information or to schedule an observation,
contact Bethany Vickers at 217-737-1463.
