Leport School

I found LePort Encinitas at the end of 2014 when we needed care for our 18-month-old daughter. I was hoping for a true Montessori environment. I happened to hear another mom mention this new LePort location, which had acquired this building and transitioned it from a non-Montessori preschool earlier that year. We have been there ever since. The staff has always been great but we see a special cohesion among the current head of school and the staff, and a commitment to the Montessori method. They and the LePort company have created great classrooms and outdoor facilities for the kids and they continually bring in new experiences and maintain the environment for the kids. The excellent teachers are inspiring the kids daily. Communication to the families is excellent and there are regular opportunities to build community with the other families. We are very pleased! Our daughter will be five soon and I am amazed constantly by her enthusiasm for the different lessons and experiences she has there. Our second child has also been there for a year now, starting in the infant room and then moving to the toddler class. It was exciting to see him developing at that age in the Montessori environment. The classrooms are peaceful, inviting, and fun. The staff models respect, enthusiasm, and joy on a daily basis. That transfers to the kids, and it is a beautiful thing! If you are looking for a true Montessori experience, LePort Encinitas is the place.

Leaving your newborn is never a easy thing to do and in our quest to find somewhere we felt our son would be loved, challenged and safe we found Le Montessori Encinitas. The staff is so warm and friendly, you feel like your truly joining a community than a preschool. For us the Montessori curriculum was what we felt fit best for our son, and in the time that he's been there I'm at awe at all that he's accomplished so far. The staff really cater to the children's needs and it shows. I don't know how they do it but in a classroom full of infants most of the time it's calm and the children are having the best time. Also, because the children are specifically different ages you can see how that really benefits the child. My son is really developing and pushing himself and I think it's because he see's his older friends in the class doing different things. The most heart warming part is seeing how the staff really cares for each of the children. When I drop my son off he always has the biggest smile. The staff really bonds with the children and for me that's the best thing that I could ask for. Also Claudia, the Director, is a huge advocate for learning and provides the staff with continual education which I think is so wonderful. They also provide resources for the parents as well so you can learn and grown with the different challenges of parenting. Communication is excellent here, there's a private FB page for parents to get insights on what the entire school is up to, Coffee Talks with Claudia and Transparent Classroom so you get photos of your child while you're away. They also go above and beyond with extra curricular activities... school parades, shows and partnerships with the Encinitas community are all just apart of what they do here. We are beyond happy with our choice in Le Port, they've exceeded our expectations and we're so glad to be apart of the Le Port family!!
