At LePort, we help our students acquire the essential knowledge, thinking skills, and strength of character required to flourish as joyous children today, and as successful adults tomorrow. Our unique program emphasizes the relationship between the academically challenging material presented in the classroom, and the breadth of experiences children have in their lives outside of the classroom. At LePort School Westpark, we offer more than a high-quality, authentic, Montessori program, we also offer convenient extended care hours (great for working parents!), enriching after-school programs, and even a daily hot lunch option. Our beautiful classrooms boast high-quality furniture and Montessori materials, are full of natural light, and some even offer direct access to the outdoors, giving children the opportunity to enjoy both indoor and outdoor classroom space. Our teachers take great pride in making each room a unique, welcoming environment. As our authentic Montessori school has been open for over five years, children benefit from stable, mixed-age classroom communities. In addition, as more than half of our preschool students stay with us for the Kindergarten year, our Primary classrooms have outstanding role models for younger students, and a great peer group for older ones. All of our head teachers have completed the most rigorous, year-long AMI Montessori certification. We are proud that all of our head teachers and nearly all of our assistants have stayed with us year-over-year: quite an achievement in a preschool setting where staff turnover can be very high. If you are a dual-working family, and are looking for a place where your child will be nurtured and stimulated for an extended day, our campus provides it all!

The in-home daycare facility fosters a safe space through a designated classroom / learning area, custom beds and fitted sheets for nap time, and a spacious outdoor playtime area. Chi (Daycare Owner), who holds an International Montessori Teaching Diploma through the North American Montessori Center, has over 10 years of in-home family daycare experience beginning in 2012. She is licensed to care for 14 children (12 toddler / pre-school aged children + 2 school aged children) with a teaching assistant. All teacher's assistants at Columbus Grove Daycare are current students or recent graduates from UCI / nearby universities and have education and childcare experience or aspirations to become teacher's in the future. Most notably through the years from Columbus Grove Daycare graduates is Chi’s cooking. She provides freshly prepared meals daily and skillfully caters towards the taste buds of young ones. Most children who attend Columbus Grove Daycare come when they are young and stay until Kindergarten. We have the privilege of building trustworthy longitudinal relationships with the children we care for and they become just like family members. All children leave from Columbus Grove Daycare amply prepared academically for Kindergarten and more importantly always have fond memories of their time at Columbus Grove Daycare with Chi and friends.
