    Both my sons have attended The Playhouse preschool. My oldest attended for 2 years and my youngest…read morehas been with Kyle for 5 months. Both boys have definitely thrived in the environment. I couldn't believe what my oldest learned. He was the first in his K class to count to 100 and he was able to add, subtract, and multiply by the time he was in K. Our youngest has really come a long way verbally since attending preschool. Most important is the community and friendships that they have made. My oldest son's two best friends are friends that he met 3-4 years ago from preschool. Some of the families have become like second families to us while we don't see others as often it's still so fun to see each other at sporting events or out and about. I won't say that the transition to public school was smooth for my oldest son because he just wanted to go back to preschool. But I really don't see that as a bad thing. When I had questions about education for my eldest Lynn gave me the most helpful assessment of my son's educational needs that I've ever received. So while it's only a year or two of my kids life it really feels like it has had a lasting positive ripple effect and I'm so glad my kids have this important opportunity to be little.

    We were so fortunate to find Kyle and wish we had found him sooner. When we first contacted Kyle,…read morehe answered all of my questions, was very kind when we went to visit and included our older child in the visit, and was extremely accommodating. We had to move our youngest son to The Playhouse Preschool, earlier than we had expected and the entire process was great! Kyle helped my youngest with the transition to a new place. They worked on and through my son's emotions, talked to him and treated him like a person when he's only 2. Kyle and his assistants are talked about frequently in our home. They have helped and supported the potty training process, they celebrate the children's successes, and meet the children at their level. After starting, my 2 year old came home using full length sentences, singing songs, talking about friends, using manners consistently, and expressing himself so much more! The other kids are kind and love one another. The other parents are just as kind and welcoming to these young developing friendships. We are so grateful to have found Kyle and look forward to our son developing and growing even more over the next few years!

    Morningstar Montessori School - New Paint! New Sign!

    My son is in his third and final year (Kndergarten) at Morningstar. I loved the culture of the…read moreschool the former teachers built, before summer 2024, and I love the progression into the school Morningstar has become under Ms. Gigi's ownership as well. The teachers bring their substantial training, experience, and unique gifts to a beautiful environment. Montessori builds independence, autonomy, and initiative as it guides children into becoming passionate, lifelong learners. I am so grateful I found Morningstar in 2022 and can't recommend it highly enough to parents who have high hopes for their child's early education. One benefit I particularly treasure is the opportunity for leadership my son is experiencing as a Montessori mentor. As the caboose to our family, it struck me that this is his big opportunity to be the oldest among his peers. As I see the pictures and videos the school provides daily, chat casually with the teachers at pickup, and observe in our home life, I am seeing my "baby" grow into a confident, thoughtful boy who can apply reason and empathy, modulate his responses, and make good choices in his daily life. Even though he's eligible for Kindergarten (and I am a big supporter of the WPUSD elementary he will attend next year), I keep him here for the low teacher/student ratio, the peacefulness and productivity of his work day, the laughter, fun, and joy that is so clearly enjoyed by the children and the teachers, and the warmth, love, and kindness that welcomes in the families in the mornings and tells them goodnight at the close of day. As Morningstar matures under Ms. Gigi's leadership, I highly recommend it to all families looking for childcare / school in Lincoln.

    A lot of reviews here mention the rudeness of the staff and the preferencial treatment they give…read morecertain parents and students. I had first hand experience with this. I attended their open house to see if the school would be a good fit for my son. We entered through the back gate and from the start I noticed I was being looked over. I figured it was because I looked somewhat sloppy carrying my infant in the carrier and haven't had the chance to change in order to make it on time. I was wrong. This was during the pandemic when masks were required indoors. All parents arrived with masks, but upon seeing the staff not wearing them, they also removed them. I attended with my toddler and infant who cannot be vaccinated, so we were also wearing masks and we did not remove them. Quickly, we became the only people wearing masks. When I asked if masks would be worn indoors, I was told no. Again, this was during a time when wearing masks was the safety guidance. I told the staff that I wasn't sure this would be the best fit, and she told me there were plenty of other preschools for my child. That's it. In no more than five minutes, I was bullied, made to feel uncomfortable, and told to leave. I left fuming. I could not believe she would 1. violate safety guidelines. 2. jeopardize the safety of my children. 3. tell me to go somewhere else rather than explain her reasoning. Also, this was done in plain view of other parents quickly setting the tone for the rest of the tour and establishing the type of treatment that is acceptable at this school. Obviously, I left. Looking back, she did me a favor as this is not the kind of environment I would want for my child. I have no doubt that what other parents have said in their posts is honest as the bullying behavior by the staff was in plain view with me. I am left feeling sad about what children are learning at this school about the treatment of others, and about their role in a community. This school is a detriment to all of Lincoln.

    We are so incredibly grateful to have found Turkey Creek Montessori school--it's truly been the…read morebest experience for our family. From the very beginning, we felt welcomed, supported, and confident that our son was in the right place. Ms. Amanda and Ms. Emma have created a nurturing, thoughtful, and engaging environment where each child is supported as an individual. Our son absolutely adores them and genuinely loves going to school every day. Ms. Amanda's depth of experience is truly remarkable--22 years in education, a BA in Child Development, an MA in Education, a Montessori credential for ages 3-6, and she's even a certified Positive Discipline coach. Her knowledge, paired with her warmth and intentionality, is reflected in everything she does. She meets each child where they are and helps them grow. We couldn't ask for a better start to our son's education. We only wish we could stay here forever! My husband and I highly recommend Turkey Creek Montessori.

The first was more of a daycare than anything else and the second one had questionable approaches to managing the behavior of little ones. The third time is a charm because we've loved our time at Turkey Creek Montessori! When our second son was ready for preschool, we went straight back to that teal door. Both boys grew so much academically and emotionally under Ms. Amanda's guidance. I love that she supported them in their interests and in the way they like to learn. There is so much research and thought that is put into everything the kids do. This isn't a daycare, it's a quality educational program. We're going to miss this wonderful school as our little guy moves on to the same "big kid school" his older brother attends.

I believe that every child has a unique set of talents and interests, and my program is tailored to meet each child's individual needs. The Montessori approach is centered around the belief that children are natural learners who will thrive in a prepared environment that allows them to explore and discover at their own pace. I use hands-on materials that encourage children to engage with their environment and develop important skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration. The Montessori materials are specifically designed to support the child's natural development and provide a foundation for future academic success.
