Lower School at Brownell Talbot – A Foundation for Lifelong Learning

 Location: Omaha, Nebraska

Grade Range: Early Years (Preschool) – Grade 4

At Brownell Talbot’s Lower School, education is more than academics—it’s about nurturing confident, curious, and compassionate learners. From our youngest students in Early Years (Preschool) to fourth graders preparing for Middle School, we provide an environment where children develop the skills to advocate for themselves, collaborate with others, and embrace challenges with resilience.





Learning to Learn: Building Essential Skills

Our approach prioritizes:

  • Collaborative Learning – Small class sizes ensure active participation and meaningful peer interactions.

  • Personalized Growth – Teachers tailor instruction to meet each child’s academic and social-emotional needs.

  • Specialized Enrichment – From French and Spanish to Music, Art, and Science, subject experts inspire curiosity early on.

Early Years: Where Curiosity Thrives

Designed for three- and four-year-olds, our preschool program balances structure and exploration. Through play-based and inquiry-driven activities, children develop foundational literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving skills—all while fostering a love for learning.

Beyond the Classroom: Holistic Development

  • Swimming & PE – A unique part of our curriculum, teaching water safety and teamwork from Kindergarten through Grade 4.

  • Social-Emotional Learning – Using Yale’s RULER program, students learn to recognize, understand, and regulate emotions, building empathy and resilience.

  • Extended Opportunities – BT Beyond offers after-school enrichment (ballet, stock market simulations, youth sports) and Camp Discovery for year-round engagement.

A Community That Supports Growth

Parents often remark on the warmth and intentionality of our Lower School. Whether it’s a child leading a classroom discussion or collaborating on a science project, the emphasis on confidence, kindness, and critical thinking prepares students not just for Middle School—but for life.
