What Is Mundo Abierto?
An Open World For Every Child.
At Matteo’s Place Montessori Bilingual Preschool, children experience Mundo Abierto™, an open world of learning where bilingual education, Montessori-inspired learning, inclusion, and hands-on discovery come together.
At Matteo’s Place, we believe learning should extend beyond traditional boundaries. Children are encouraged to follow their curiosity, experience language naturally, explore their environment, and develop confidence in ways that work for them.
Through Montessori-inspired learning, bilingual experiences, personalized support, and outdoor exploration, every child has the opportunity to discover their own path.

How Mundo Abierto Comes To Life
We believe every child deserves to explore their interests, develop independence, discover new languages, and grow in ways that support who they are.
This is the foundation of Mundo Abierto™: an approach that brings together Montessori-inspired exploration, bilingual learning, inclusion, and outdoor discovery into one connected experience.
Open To Language
Children experience Spanish naturally throughout their day through conversations, play, stories, and everyday routines, helping them develop communication skills, confidence, and cultural awareness.
Open To Discovery
Through Montessori-inspired experiences and meaningful activities, children are encouraged to develop independence, problem-solving skills, confidence, and curiosity about the world around them.
Open To Every Child
We believe every child deserves an environment where their strengths, needs, and learning style are recognized, supported, and celebrated. This helps every child participate fully, build confidence, and grow at their own pace.
Open To The Outdoors
Learning does not stop at the classroom door. Outdoor experiences give children opportunities to explore, move, observe, and discover through hands-on experiences.

Hands-on activities that build independence, curiosity, confidence and problem-solving.
