LePort Montessori Irvine (San Marino) in Irvine, California

“My son attended Leport for pre-school and stayed 2 years. He is now in 2nd grade and we have moved out of the city. I am not sure if any changes have happened since we last attended but I would like to acknowledge Monica and her staff for the years my son was there. Great Montessori school!!”

“With the exception of one teacher, we have had excellent teachers that really care about the welfare of the children. The teacher that I did not like (actually at the LAKE campus) was really big on 'favoritism' and was not shy about it-a little unprofessional in my opinion. I do agree with some of the other reviews that they have too many holidays that we have to pay double for if we don't take time off work, and the fees are high, and the tardy policy is a bit outlandish but the academics are excellent and my kid does like coming to school...that's what keeps us there.”

“My daughter started attending this school in Nov last year and has already learn so much academically. I agree with many reviews that this school did a great job focusing on academica development of my child. Her teacher is very good and that's why I will keep her there. I also like the parent education night that allow me to learn more about the teaching material. however I too am frustrated with the administrative rules and policies. There are way too many days off (i did a comparison with other montessori in Irvine) and the summer program is very expensive. This makes it very difficult for working parents to plan for day care. Also, they make it seem difficult for parents to do observation of the classroom. I requested one and got an appt time 2 months later. I will still recommend this school b/c of the teacher and facility.”

“I absolutely love this school. Both my children attend LePort Montessori and I am very pleased of the way they have both blossomed. The teachers are very knowledgeable and talented. I love the personalized attention that my children receive from their teachers. My children love it there and are very fond of their teachers. On the other hand, their early registration policy is a bit distressing, and out of touch considering the somber economical climate that we all face. However; I know for a fact that they ll be willing to work with you in case of encumbrance or difficulty. Furthermore, I do believe that they have too many days off, and the Daycare option on some of these holidays is very costly. It is cheaper to take that day off from work to stay at home with the children. They should be mindful of the fact that many parents cannot afford to either stay at home or pay the steep fee and offer a much better alternative; especially for those who are already paying for daycare in their monthly tuition. Other than that, the administration staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and understanding. The school is always very clean and I know my kids are getting the best of care and education.”

“Well structed teaching, the teachers are great. But there are a lot of rules where you have to end up paying fees. I feel like they try to make so much money way ahead of time by making you sign up in advance for each summer, fall term. They have way to many school days off for the amount of money you pay. They should at least not make you pay for all those school days off.”

“A great start up school! My daughter Aanya had stayed with me completely at home until she turned 3 and started school. I was very anxiuos as to how she would adjust. It must be said to the credit of the friendly and experienced staff that they made a big difference to Aanya's approach towards school. She is learning to be more self reliant with each passing day. I highly recommend this school to all parents who are looking for a school to lauch their child in to this routine. I feel it is an excellent foundation to groom and prepare your child to take the next step in life.”

“Great school. Caring, talented teachers helps my kids to learn. One thing that frusturates me is their administration. They have too many day-offs (closing school for a whole day for parents-teachers conference is too much for working parents), fine for simple mistakes etc. Also they ask the parents to register for next academic year (which starts on Sep) in Feb itself. If the administration shows little more concern for parent's thoughts, this school will reach it's highest score. Has a clean environment and good set of teachers, which makes me to continue in this school.”

“The teachers are great, but the administration is very disappointing. Everything is rules, no flexibility. It makes me feel they are like robot with fake smiles on their face, they do not care about parent feeling, but money. I do appreciate the teachers a lot, that is the only thing keep me going there.”

“My daughter is excelling beyond my dreams. Even with the rules (tardies and signing in) this is far the best Montessori. My son attending a different school in Irvine and I am so amazed at the difference in quality and care he gets at LePort. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND LePort Schools and I have referred many friends. Thank you LePort Schools”

“I am a parent of 2 and this was my first time looking for a pre-school for my 4 year old daughter. I am very lucky to find a school that has a comprehensive curriculum and fine staff members. There are many positives that the Montessori has brought to my child and I will continue to keep her here as long as I can. The teachers are committed to providing the children with quality and advanced work as well as a very trusting environment. I love LePort Montessori schools!”
