Discovery Studio
Ages 7-9
Our Montessori inspired studio is designed to give your Pre Kindergarten - 1st grade aged child the chance to build the math, reading, self-regulatory, and social skills needed for success in the highly independent Acton Elementary Studio.
Our Spark heroes help establish the rules in their Montessori Studio and meet to identify, discuss, and vote on issues that affect them. They practice basic goal setting and complete challenges at their own pace to earn learning "badges" in math, reading, and citizenship. The rest of the time, they learn through exploration in a series of hands-on projects and present what they've discovered at an exhibition at the end of each Session.

Our Elementary Studio is Unique to other Private School Options
The lower elementary studio offers a safe, caring, and warm environment where young children thrive in Lincoln, NE. The studio is arranged by learning areas: building and design, computers, manipulatives, core skills, library, and writing. The daily schedule and routines include a balance of indoor and outdoor activity time, plenty of time to play, which by the way, we feel is SUPER important to a child's development. Children are encouraged to think, reason, question, develop ideas, experiment, and problem solve, as well as make choices and display independence. Kindness and developing good character is a cornerstone in all we do. Navigating the challenges of friendship or learning to identify and express emotions, at Acton Lincoln, the intellectual, social, and emotional life of each child is honored.
