About Matteo’s Place

Matteo’s Place Montessori Bilingual Preschool is a bilingual early learning environment in Ashburn, Virginia, where children aged 12 months to 12 years are encouraged to learn, explore, and grow through the Mundo Abierto™ approach. Children experience an open world of learning where bilingual education, inclusion, discovery, and individualized support come together.

Our Philosophy

Creating A Place Where Children Feel Known, Valued, And Inspired

Matteo’s Place was created with a simple vision: to build a preschool where children are encouraged to discover who they are, develop confidence in their abilities, and feel supported throughout their early learning journey.

For families, choosing a preschool is about more than finding a place for their child to spend the day. It is about finding a community they can trust, a place where their child is understood, encouraged, and cared for.

At Matteo’s Place, we are committed to creating that experience through meaningful relationships, thoughtful learning opportunities, and a child-centered approach.

A Family-Inspired Vision

Matteo’s Place was named after Flor’s son, representing a personal vision to create a learning environment built around the things that matter most: connection, opportunity, and a strong foundation for the future.

As a family-led preschool, we understand that every child’s early years are filled with important moments of growth and discovery. These years shape how children see themselves, how they connect with others, and how they approach learning.

Our goal is to create a place where children feel safe to try new things, make mistakes, ask questions, and grow with confidence.

More Than A Preschool

A Community For Families

The early years are about more than academic development. They are about building relationships, developing independence, and helping children understand the world around them.

At Matteo’s Place, we believe strong partnerships between educators and families create the best foundation for children.

Through open communication and meaningful connections, families become an important part of the Matteo’s Place community.

A Commitment To Every Child

We believe every child deserves an environment where they feel they belong.

Matteo’s Place welcomes children with different learning needs and works alongside families to provide the support and understanding children need to thrive.

By creating an environment built around patience, encouragement, and individualized support, we help children develop confidence while celebrating the unique qualities that make them who they are.
