Child Care / Montessori School in Huntington Beach, CA

LePort School, Huntington Harbor:
LePort School is Huntington Beach’s Premier Montessori, Preschool & Elementary School. Located just minutes from Huntington Harbor, Orange County CA, our Huntington Harbor campus at 16081 Waikiki Lane offers a wide range of Montessori child care, preschool and elementary school programs to toddlers, preschoolers, and lower elementary students, aged 3 months to 8 years. We provide Mommy & Me programs for kids ages 3 - 18 months, toddler childcare, Pre-Kindergarten and elementary school programs, as well as a special after-school service. We provide a rigorous, structured academic curriculum and make learning enjoyable for our students.

- Structured Academic Curriculum
We teach essential knowledge content sequentially – including literature, history, mathematics and science – and offer systematic instruction in the key language arts skills of spelling, vocabulary, grammar & writing. We present knowledge as an exciting discovery of the world, so that learning is like a detective story in which each lesson involves grasping a new and interesting twist. We make the material itself engaging rather than relying heavily on extrinsic rewards like grades, or on “hands-on,” “fun” projects that distract, rather than add, to the child’s learning of essential, applied knowledge.

- Professional, Expert Teachers
In contrast to most other schools, which operate on a “homeroom” model, where one teacher teaches all subjects for one year, we hire subject matter experts in each field. For example, our history teachers actually know and love history – and stay with your child over several years to ensure that your child experiences history as an exciting, integrated story, where this year’s learning builds upon and reinforces the prior years’ work. We selectively hire interesting, passionate people who enjoy learning and life, and can pass that positive attitude on to your child.

- Safe, Nurturing Environment
From our spacious, clean Montessori classrooms, to our carefully selective, sequentially taught curriculum in the upper grades; from our small class sizes to our supervised recess environment; from our many field trips to our special school events and spirit days: nothing at LePort is accidental. We understand that a key part of our role as educators is providing an environment where your child can thrive.

At LePort, we understand that deep knowledge and strong thinking skills are a foundation upon which to educate the whole child. Both inside and outside the classroom, we guide our students as they build strength of character and learn personal, social and life skills. Our graduates are children who have developed a strong sense of personal identity: they have learned to act in pursuit of their chosen goals, and have developed goals they're motivated to pursue.

- Mommy & Me toddler classes
- Pre-Kindergarten program
- Primary program
- Lower Elementary program (1st - 3rd Grade)

"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."

"My son has been in this school for almost a year. He really loves this school and his teacher. The staff members are very approachable too. My son has been enjoying his time in school and he has also been learning a lot of things. Everything is well organized and his teacher is one of the most talented and understanding teachers I have ever met. I would definitely recommend this Montessori."

"I am a parent of two 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!"

"When our daughter turned 2, we needed to find a school for her. Our daughter attends the preschool class and loves going to school every day. She can’t wait to tell me about her day at school. Her teacher is everything the last parent’s post mentions. She IS truly one-in-a-million. We really owe the growth in our daughter’s maturity, independence and intellect to her. I would not hesitate in recommending LePort to other parents."
