My
Philosophy
The Montessori philosophy allows young children to learn and
explore in a relaxed environment. The child learns by doing.
The Montessori Learning Home, not only provides a
safe and nurturing environment, it allows the child many
wonderful learning opportunities based on the Montessori
philosophy. The learning is done in relaxed home-based atmosphere.

Early Learning Program
The Montessori
Learning Home is a preschool with daycare hours. My basement is set
up as a Montessori classroom where the children experience
activities in practical life, math, language arts, science and
culture.

care for and enjoy.

About Me
The Macaulay family has lived in the Omaha
area for 27 years. I graduated from Mount Marty
College in Yankton, SD and spent a year and a half
as a missionary in Japan during my college years.
Presently I am an active member at St. John's Church
at Creighton University, Christians Encounter Christ
and the St. Margaret Mary's Prayer Group. Activities
that I enjoy in my free time are biking, hiking,
reading, singing, and traveling. Most of all I enjoy
children, caring for them and watching them grow and
learn.
