Kindernook Preschool: A Tradition of Excellence
Established in 1953, Kindernook Preschool was one of the first preschools in Omaha. Developed with respect to the University of Nebraska College of Education’s Standards for Preschools, Kindernook was founded by Peggy Bedford and Dr. Francis Hurst. The preschool was originally founded as an outreach ministry program at Countryside Community Church.
As one of the first preschools in Omaha, Kindernook’s founders enjoyed the liberty to create a unique school system and curriculum. From the beginning, Kindernook has operated under the philosophy that children will acquire knowledge and skills by actively interacting with the environment in ways that are meaningful to them. A division of Countryside Community Church, a United Church of Christ (UCC) religious institution, Kindernook is a non-denominational preschool.
Through the years, Kindernook has become a tradition among many Omaha families. Many current Kindernook students are the third generation in their families to attend.
