Heike Larson
Vice President, Strategy and Parent Outreach

Ms. Larson holds an undergraduate degree in business from the Koblenz School of Corporate Management in Germany, and an MBA from the University of Texas at Austin. She was an Associate Partner at McKinsey & Company, the international management consulting firm, and held senior positions in Marketing and Sales for two airplane manufacturers.

Ms. Larson discovered Maria Montessori's ideas while in college, and decided back then to have her children attend Montessori schools. Over the years, as she learned more, her interest in the Montessori method only deepened. When her daughter started attending preschool, her discussions with other parents led her to discover that few others shared her appreciation of Montessori's value—even at a Montessori School! As a result, she developed a deep passion for educating parents about the tremendous benefits that a proper Montessori education offers to young children.

In early 2010, Ms. Larson's interest in education led her to discover LePort Schools, and she was impressed with the consistently high quality of their Montessori programs. When the opportunity arose, she took on the project of guiding the organization's development of its new website. In the process, she became fascinated by LePort's innovative approach to elementary education and pedagogy.

Today, Ms. Larson is responsible for overseeing and coordinating LePort's parent education, outreach, and development programs. She is excited to help LePort share the value of its quality educational programs with a broader audience, in Orange County and beyond.

Jesse E. McCarthy
Executive Advisor

Mr. McCarthy received his B.A. from the University of California, Los Angeles, where he studied psychology and political science.

Shortly after graduation in 2003, Mr. McCarthy began working as an administrator at LePort Schools in Irvine (Lake), where he became familiar with the works of Maria Montessori and realized just what heights were possible for the field of education, for every child’s cognitive and emotional development. He discovered that the love of learning present in the early years of life does not have to fade as children progress through their schooling. In fact, he came to believe that the opposite can and should occur: that the excited, natural love of learning—toddlers searching every corner of their new world for thrilling discoveries, young children asking “Why?” about everything in sight—should only get stronger and deeper throughout life, from age 1 to 100 and beyond.

Mr. McCarthy eventually joined LePort's elementary/junior high program in Mission Viejo, where he taught vocabulary and history, developing curriculum for both subjects. In 2008, he became the Academic Director of History, taking on the challenge of developing a comprehensive elementary and junior high history curriculum. During the 2010-11 school year, Mr. McCarthy stepped in as the Acting Head of School at our Mission Viejo campus. And in 2012, he officially joined our Leadership Team as LePort’s Executive Advisor, working on company-wide projects to help ensure that as LePort Schools grows and expands over the years, it stays steadfastly committed to offering an integrated, benevolent educational world like no other.

Before having children, Judi worked as a publication coordinator and in the field of public relations. Long interested in early education, Judi entered Vanguard University to obtain her Bachelor's Degree in Psychology (emphasis in Human Development) in 2000, graduating in 2001. Still dissatisfied with the developmental philosophies she had learned in college, she began to study different methods of education—when she discovered the Montessori method. Judi joined LePort Schools in 2003, with the purchase of our Irvine (Lake) campus.

After witnessing firsthand the benefits of a Montessori education for her daughter, Judi began to realize what a tremendous opportunity the philosophy offered. She transferred to the Mission Viejo campus in 2007, working in the Administrative Offices.

Judi enjoys spending time with her husband of 15 years, Bob, and her daughters (both LePort students)! She can most often be found riding her bike, reading, camping, shopping, or shuttling her children to a variety of activities.

Since then, Ms. Fontana has done everything in her power to educate her three children in the best available Montessori programs. It was this desire which led her to an IT position with a group of three Montessori schools in Ohio, and then, when she and her family moved back to Southern California, it led her in turn to LePort Schools! In 2011, Ms. Fontana accepted a position with LePort Schools, and the next day enrolled her three children at LePort's Huntington Beach campus!

On the personal side, Ms. Fontana grew up in a multilingual home, learned four languages, and married her lifelong sweetheart. She loves spending time with her family.
