Abstract: This article describes the evaluation of a pilot Montessori-based home visiting program called "Mi Pequeño Mundo" (MPM) aimed at promoting optimal child development in Spanish-speaking Latine children from birth to three years old in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Phase I included World Cafés and interviews to gather Centro Tyrone Guzman (CTG) stakeholder feedback on program design. Thematic analysis informed the development of the program and implementation approach. Primary input included topics for curriculum development. Phase II included training three bilingual/bicultural community members for home visiting (Conectores), recruiting families, data collection, and family visits. Feasibility and acceptability measures plus pre--post assessment of knowledge, self-efficacy, mindfulness parenting, child assessment, and process data were collected. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Qualitative summaries highlighted themes from open-ended questions. Phase II included training of three Conectores who worked with 15 families for up to 20 weekly remote visits each (due to COVID-19 protocols). Participating families were 100% satisfied with the program and said they would recommend it to a friend. Program outputs/goals were met upon the completion of the pilot (Phase II) indicating the program was feasible and acceptable. The full implementation phase of MPM was modified based on the first two phases and programming was scaled to reach the broader Spanish-speaking Latine community living in Minnesota.
