We feel so grateful to be part of the LePort Montessori Orchard Hills community. Our daughter started in 2023 at just three years old and will be graduating in 2026 — it has been such a special chapter for our family. Her first teacher, Ms. Shaista, made her transition to school life so smooth and comforting. She paid close attention to each child’s progress and thoughtfully prepared materials tailored to their individual needs. We’re so thankful for the strong foundation she built. Later, in Ms. Khan’s class, we’ve seen steady growth in our daughter’s math and reading over the past half year. We truly appreciate both teachers for their dedication and care. We love the beautiful campus and, most of all, the warm and supportive parent community. Highly recommend LePort Orchard Hills!
We love Mrs. Khan! She has been a huge inspiration to our children and the love she shares for them is so apparent and appreciated! She spends quality time teaching lessons and helping him in several facets of his life. We have been lucky to have her teach our son for several years now and she has become like family. We appreciate Ms. Ayanthi’s dedication and guidance for the school for several years now! The staff and teachers are wonderful at OH Le Port Montessori.
We’ve been part of this preschool family for both of our kids, and we couldn’t be happier! Our daughter graduated from here at age 6, and the advanced curriculum really gave her a head start—she adjusted to elementary school so smoothly. Now, her younger brother is in Ms. Khan’s class, and we are just as thrilled. We trust her completely with our children's early education. The school is a totally safe environment where the teachers pay great attention to every detail. Along with phonics and math, I love that they teach geography and diverse cultures, helping the kids expand their worldviews from an early age. They also focus on building essential social skills, teaching the kids how to get along with one another. I highly recommend this preschool to any parent looking for a nurturing and academically strong environment!
We have absolutely loved our two years here at LePort Orchard Hills. We are so grateful to have been welcomed and cared for so warmly by this community. We love that all the teachers and staff know our daughter by name, and are so kind. We are so impressed with the academic progress and life skills development the wonderful LePort team has provided. At 2 years of age, my daughter was making mini waffles and smoothies on her own, dressing independently, and toileting independently (most of the time!) and practicing "reading"/storytelling to her class! They teach students to be curious, helpful, thoughtful world citizens who respect each other's cultures. They teach boundaries and build social emotional skills (like how to ask for space and to wait patiently). Truly impressive stuff. We love the community events and enrichment opportunities and focus on art and storytelling. The school hosts thoughtful community-connecting events like a lion dance for Lunar New Year, a book exchange for Valentine's Day, a fall festival (complete with a "mini pumpkin patch!", trunk-or-treat, Christmas/holiday song showcase, and more! The staff go all out -- they plan different activities and crafts, put up a photo opp wall, and provide snacks and juice boxes.) Last year they focused on stories from around the world and did a craft/artwork to accompany the story. This year they're focused on art around the world, learning about artists and making their own art in that style. The crafts they bring home are super cute and will be cherished always. It's so great. They also arrange for after school enrichment options, like dance/yoga and sports, which my daughter participated in and loved. On the academic front, they do a superb job teaching foundational skills -- at three years of age, my daughter is learning the alphabet and letter sounds, 3-letter words, counting, geography, etc.! It's truly impressive how much she's learned in just a few months! I am confident she'll be ahead when she starts TK and Kinder. We had the pleasure of having Ms. Yan (and Ms. Dania) in the toddler class (ages 2-3), and Ms. Dilusha (and Ms. Isabel) in the primary class (age 3-6). The front desk (Ms. Ayanthi and Ms. Karla (and Ms. Jessica before that)) are all truly so kind and friendly. I could not ask for better care givers and early educators to guide my daughter's early years and early learning. I cannot recommend LePort enough! It truly has given my daughter a great start to life in both academics and social emotional and functional life skills. (In many ways, she is more advanced than my older son! But don't tell him that if you know us, haha.) The parents are also really nice. (Pro tip: if this is your first time in a group setting, make sure to go to birthday parties -- it's the best way to get to know other parents better!) Every educator and staff member has made a lasting impact in shaping my daughter as a person, and in shaping a great learning environment. We will always be grateful to the LePort team for providing such a positive early learning experience!
Our 4-year-old has been enrolled here for almost two years, and we couldn’t be happier. The academics are outstanding—especially literacy—and the staff are incredibly caring and attentive. She’s grown so much in confidence and independence, and her reading/letter-sound skills have taken off. Highly recommend!
