More Than Childcare. A Foundation for Life.
A family-operated Montessori school for children ages 2 months–6 years, with infant care, toddler care, and preschool at our Downtown and East Austin campuses. Spanish immersion, hands-on learning, and caring teachers every day.
Welcome to Mi Casita
Since 2016, Mi Casita has provided children with an authentic Montessori education rooted in respect, independence, and cultural diversity. Our classrooms invite children to explore, create, and connect while nurturing the whole child.
Our founder, Keyla Martinez, discovered Montessori while working as a school custodian. She went on to earn Infant/Toddler and Primary Montessori credentials and opened Mi Casita with her husband in 2016. Today, that family dream continues across our two Austin campuses.
Meaningful exposure to Spanish through conversation, lessons, songs, stories, routines, and everyday classroom experiences.
Child-led, hands-on learning that develops concentration, confidence, empathy, and independence.
Close classroom communities where teachers build trusting relationships with children and families.
Thoughtful support for each child’s physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and language development.
The Montessori Difference
Developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, the Montessori Method is a child-centered approach grounded in careful observation, respect, and more than 100 years of practice around the world.
Children are naturally eager and capable learners. Our role is to provide a supportive, thoughtfully prepared environment where they can develop at their own pace.
Beyond the Classroom
Our curriculum supports children’s physical and emotional well-being through meaningful movement and enrichment experiences.
Age-appropriate yoga experiences encourage balance, body awareness, calmness, coordination, and confidence.
Weekly physical education supports gross-motor development, teamwork, strength, coordination, and healthy movement.
Daily outdoor time gives children space to move, explore nature, practice social skills, and experience joyful play.
Parent Experiences
Our greatest privilege is partnering with families and watching their children become confident, capable, and joyful learners.
