LePort Montessori School Solana Beach

Welcome to LePort Montessori Solana Beach, a trusted, nurturing, and authentic Montessori school offering programs for infants and toddlers, preschool/kindergarten, elementary school, and Spanish immersion.

Families choose us for our renowned Pre-K care (infant, toddler, and preschool) and stay for the individualized, joyful learning experiences that foster a happy and healthy child.

LePort Montessori Solana Beach is a neighborhood school conveniently located just off the 5, a few blocks south of Loma Santa Fe Drive, south of Loma Santa Fe Plaza. We serve families from Solana Beach, Del Mar, Cardiff by the Sea, Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe, and other nearby communities. Our campus was built under the careful consultation of Maria Montessori’s own son, Mario Montessori, and offers the perfect balance of academic opportunity, freedom to explore, and site security desired by parents, educators, and administrators alike. Since becoming a LePort School in 2015, we’ve grown into a vibrant community committed to active, independent, academically strong children. Our well-trained, experienced teachers, mixed-age classrooms, and uninterrupted work periods set us apart as a quality Montessori school. Our primary focus is to help your child gain what we refer to as “Knowledge for Life” —the essential knowledge, thinking skills, and strength of character required to thrive as joyful children today and successful adults tomorrow.

Our team of caring educators looks forward to meeting you, showing you around our school, and sharing their passion for authentic Montessori education.

Give the Gift of Bilingualism

Spanish Bilingual for Infants and Toddlers • Spanish Immersion for Preschool/Kindergarten

Toddlers and preschoolers have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn a second language almost effortlessly. In the Spanish immersion Montessori classrooms for toddler and preschool, both the Montessori-trained head teacher and the assistant teacher are native Spanish speakers, and speak solely in Spanish with the children from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm every day.

Students receive Montessori lessons in Spanish, sing songs in Spanish, and (in preschool) learn to write and read in Spanish. The mixed-age Montessori communities are rich environments for natural language acquisition. You can give your child the gift of being bilingual—just by enrolling them in our Spanish immersion preschool!

See Spanish immersion in action and listen to why parents are thrilled with their children’s Spanish immersion experiences at LePort Montessori.

Learn about the benefits of Montessori Elementary

With Montessori Elementary at LePort, children can continue in Montessori school from 1st – 6th grade. Watch this video and learn how different elementary school can and should be! Hear what parents say, and see what children experience:

  • Mixed-age classrooms—where working together in small groups and learning from and with each other is encouraged
  • Multi-sensory, sequenced, hands-on materials that allow children to learn joyfully—as against days spending much time on worksheets and textbooks
  • Individualized learning plans for each elementary-aged child, so children can proceed at an accelerated pace in their areas of strengths, and receive additional support in other areas
  • Practice time built into the school day, so you can enjoy family time at home (Instead of being a homework task master)
  • A welcoming, comfortable environment where children can move throughout the day, working at group or individual tables, on work rugs or on sofas, instead of sitting still at desks
  • Purposeful development of self-management skills—organization, problem solving, and mastering social conflicts

Stephanie McReynolds
Head of School

Welcome to beautiful Solana Beach, where great families meet great educational opportunities at LePort Montessori!

Have you asked yourself lately what it is you want from your child’s early educational experience? If you are considering a Montessori education investment, you can expect an individualized approach to learning, where your child will enjoy a tailor-made experience from his or her earliest years right through completion of our Elementary program. Our program builds independence through support of the child’s social, emotional, physical and cognitive development. We strive to “follow the child” as each experience establishes a strong self-efficacy.

Our teachers are more akin to classroom guides, carefully crafting daily activities and engaging work, all the while observing each student’s progress in every area of the Montessori curriculum. The prepared environment, which extends beyond the classroom to outdoor experiences as well, offers a wealth of fun and challenging “jobs” for each and every child — each and every day. Students eagerly anticipate the beginning of each school day, knowing that something new and exciting lies on the morning horizon.

The Solana Beach campus was designed with your child in mind. Here, students will work in comfortable, clean, and organized spaces indoors, and open, fun domains outdoors where they can seamlessly transition to additional educational and inviting options. Safety is a high priority here, and our teacher-to-student ratio reflects our commitment to maintaining “watchful eyes” over our precious children.

I would love the opportunity to meet you, show you our Montessori environments and didactic materials as we discuss the Montessori pedagogy, which will allow you to see for yourself the commitment LePort Montessori Solana Beach is making toward creating a top-tier learning environment for children of all ages. Thank you for considering our school. We would be honored to partner with you.
