At LePort Montessori, we provide a warm and engaging environment for children.

Since 2000, we have proudly served the Huntington Harbor community with high quality daycare, preschool, and elementary education.

Purposeful Learning Spaces

Our classrooms are calm, clean, and filled with child-sized materials that are as beautiful as they are functional. Each room is made for the age of the children. Our infants have soft places to nap and built-in kitchens. Toddler rooms are cozy and safe, with in-room toilets for toilet learning. Primary classrooms are filled with a variety of age-appropriate materials. Elementary spaces include kitchens, libraries, and dedicated spaces for science and art.

Trained Teachers

We know that great teachers make a big difference in a child’s learning. We hire strong lead teachers in all of our schools, primarily those with credentials from the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) or the American Montessori Society (AMS). They create a calm space where their students can do their best. They work hard to make sure every child feels confident, supported, and excited about learning new things.

A History of Innovation

Our school was founded by Dr. Peter LePort. While in medical school, Dr. LePort learned about Dr. Maria Montessori and her ideas for teaching. When his children were old enough for school, he enrolled them in Montessori programs. However, he was disappointed with how the schools were run. He also saw how little the teachers were supported. Dr. LePort created LePort Montessori as a place where children could learn to think for themselves, develop strong academic skills, and become independent.

Partnerships with Families

We love working with parents to help every child thrive. They are welcome to visit and see what is happening in our classrooms. They can also come to special events and get messages from teachers to stay updated. We also host Parent Info Evenings during the year to share important news and talk about how we can work together to support each child’s growth. Our Virtual Parenting Talks help them learn more about Montessori and provide ideas for home.

From the Head of School

Ms. Asghar

Welcome! We are thrilled to invite you to tour our school. Just as we tailor education to each child, we also take the time to meet with each family one-on-one. We want to get to know you, understand your goals for your child, answer questions, and introduce you to the world of Montessori.

We are eager to share with you all of the things that make our school so special. Our school is filled with passionate teachers and administrators, some with more than 30 years of Montessori experience. They nurture each child and build strong relationships with our families. Our school grounds include a farm and garden, where the children learn to grow fruits and vegetables. Our elementary students even sell their produce, gaining business and life skills.

Whether you know that Montessori is right for your child or you are just starting to explore it, we would love for you to reach out to us. We enjoy meeting parents, learning about your family, and helping you discover all of the things that LePort has to offer.

See you soon!
Fatima Asghar
Head of School

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I enroll my child in preschool?

LePort Montessori in Huntington Harbor offers child care for children as young as 3 months old. The Montessori Method gives children the structure they need to make the most of their early years. It helps them develop motor and social skills while learning reading, math, and more. Our students grow into confident young learners who are excited to explore the world around them.

What makes Montessori different from other daycare curriculums?

Children choose work they are interested in and learn at a pace that suits them, all with guidance from our teachers. Our classrooms are calm and organized. They create the perfect space for learning and independence. We are unlike traditional daycare, which often includes more free play. We provide structured, engaging tasks that build creativity and essential skills. We also teach our students how to be kind, work together, and make good choices without the use of rewards or punishments.

What are the hours at LePort Montessori in Huntington Harbor?

We know that it is important for you to have reliable child care. We are open from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, providing you with the flexibility you need. Whether you are juggling work, appointments, or other events, you can be sure that your child is in a safe place.

What safety measures are in place at your school?

You will notice our security steps as soon as you walk into our school. We allow entry only to our families, staff, and registered visitors. All visitors must check in at the front desk, show ID, and wear a visitor badge while they are in the school. Only approved adults are allowed to pick up children in our care.

What is the difference between daycare and Montessori preschool?

People often use the words “daycare” and “preschool” to mean the same thing. However, we are more than just a daycare. Our program helps children become independent and learn about themselves through fun, guided activities that match their age. Our caring Montessori-trained teachers support children in thinking, making friends, and getting ready for what’s next. We give our students a strong start for a lifetime of learning and success.

What after-school activities do you offer?

We provide learning and enrichment after the school day is over. Our activities include soccer, yoga, origami, and Lego engineering. Learn more.

Do you provide lunch?

Nutritious morning and afternoon snacks are included in tuition. Parents pack lunch for their child.

What are the qualifications for teachers at LePort Montessori in Huntington Harbor?

Most of our lead teachers have their undergraduate degree, and have finished training with the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) or the American Montessori Society (AMS). Some have other training and experience to make sure they meet our standards. All of our teachers pass background checks and provide us with references and necessary certificates. They receive training in safety, like CPR, first aid, and how to help with allergies. They know how to stay calm and keep children safe in any situation. Our teachers stay up to date on best practices in the classroom, as well as participate in trainings such as child abuse prevention and behavior management.

Your Child’s Educational Journey Begins Here.

Our school provides a supportive space where every child thrives. We can’t wait to meet your family, get to know your child, and welcome you to our school community!
