The LePort Difference
At LePort Montessori, our students graduate as confident, independent thinkers with a broad understanding of the world. They see their mind as a tool to help them do well in work and live a meaningful life.
Our schools are unique because we go beyond what you may think of when you hear the words ‘preschool’, ‘elementary school’, or ‘middle school’. In our classrooms, children of different ages work together. They use Montessori materials that promote deep, self-directed learning. Our teachers observe each child and give lessons at just the right time, so our students can learn at their own pace. Whether they are learning to read, practicing self-help skills, or doing complex math problems, they become confident and ready to take on any challenge.
Why Families Choose LePort Montessori
Safe & Nurturing
Our top priority is making sure students feel safe, happy, and supported. Each classroom is designed to grow with the children and meet their needs at every stage. We use carefully chosen Montessori materials that invite kids to explore and learn at their own pace. In our mixed-age classrooms, students learn from one another, building leadership skills and a sense of community. Our teachers work closely with every child, creating personalized learning experiences that help them grow in their own unique way.
Well-Trained Teachers
We recruit strong lead teachers in all of our schools, primarily those with credentials from the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) or the American Montessori Society (AMS). A few come from other backgrounds, but bring the experience necessary to meet our high standards.
Family Communication
At our school, we believe that children learn and grow best when families and teachers work as a team. That’s why we see parents as important partners in every child’s learning journey. Our teachers make sure that you know what your child is learning and how they are doing. We also encourage you to share any updates from home, so we can best support your child’s growth and happiness.
Well-Rounded Curriculum
Our preschool program offers more than a daycare or child care center. It is rooted in Maria Montessori’s philosophy. We focus on liberty of choice, active participation, and the learning journey over the destination. Our elementary and middle school program combines academic rigor with innovative approaches to learning.
Language Immersion
We offer language immersion programs in Spanish and Mandarin, helping our students become bilingual in a natural way. Our programs are available at select schools for children ages 18 months to 4 years. They follow the Montessori 3-year cycle, finishing in the child’s kindergarten year.
