MONTESSORI FAMILY

Welcome to Kukumi Montessori

Kukumi Montessori is a Spanish immersion Montessori preschool and elementary school located in South Austin, Texas. Since opening in 2019, we have been dedicated to helping children grow into culturally aware, confident, and compassionate individuals. With over 15 years of combined experience, our team integrates Spanish immersion throughout our Montessori environments, providing children with natural opportunities to develop language skills while engaging in meaningful, hands-on activities.

Our thoughtfully designed Montessori environments nurture both academic excellence and personal growth, preparing students to thrive in a global society. We emphasize mindfulness, cultural awareness, and a deep connection to the Spanish language and its rich culture.

Collaboration with families is central to our approach, fostering a strong partnership between educators and parents to support each child’s learning journey.

As one of the premier Spanish immersion schools in Austin, TX, we invite you to join us in inspiring lifelong learning and a love for the Spanish language and culture.

    — Maritza V., Parent

  • “Kukumi is more than a school—it’s our family; our son can’t wait to return each day to laugh, learn, and grow.”

    — Cathryn C., Parent

  • “At Kukumi, children are joyfully engaged in varied activities—from cooking to nature play and cultural celebrations—all within a warm, community-driven environment.”

    — Amanda M., Parent

  • "My child was blessed to receive a year of whole-person education and friendship from Kukumi. Ms. Daniela helps children not just to grow not in knowledge and life skills but be aware of their own emotions and develop relationships with peers. My child had fond memories of the school and applies what he learns there in daily life. Every time I talked to Ms. Daniela, I felt the warmth and support from her and was encouraged to grow as a parent. Our family enjoyed all the activities that Kukumi organized to unite families; the school tried their very best to make every event special and memorable for the community.
